The rules about where files can be saved/written have been in existence
for a long time but only enforced by MSFT from Vista onwards.

You need to get back to the author and ask him/her to update the program
so it uses the proper directories.

Already doing that, keeping him updated as to what has shown up, so that
he can rewrite further versions, revisions etc:
His OS is XP Pro and the errors did not appear on his machine,
only developed when we tried it on 7 and Tech Preview

Thank you..

That makes sense - MSFT only enforced the rules from Vista on. He really
needs to use a more up to date OS!

Though no-one can go back and make a new start, everyone can start from
now and make a new ending.

In article , John
Szalay says...

I use a sat tracking program that as written, is installed in the
/program files/ folder, and apparently with the increased OS security ,
unable to download TLE files directly into the proper folder UNLESS there
is an older file by the same name is already copied there. its a minor
issue and easy to get around., however .INI files ( config file) have
security levels raised to prevent users from editing it, again by OS
level changes. this too is a minor issue, I just modify the permissions
to allow it.

The odd thing, apparently after Win7 and now Win10TP , running the
program creates a hidden folder and a series of sub folders titled

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Progr am Files

not a problem , however IF you need to modify the program or upgrade
the system created folder prevents the new version from running and
errors out. deleting the hidden folder and rebooting the the computer
allows a new set of the virtualstore folders to be created and all is
fine again.
Did not see this issue with earlier version of Windows..


NOT a compliant just observations of the differences. isn,t that what
running the tech preveiw is all about ?

any thoughts welcomed...


That has been the case since Vista. See explanation here -
