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! -- Jeff Gaines Wiltshire UK 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 - Common file and registry virtualization issues in Windows Vista or in Windows 7 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927387 |
