[Dx4win] Migrating to Win 7 from XP

[Jesse Wall]

Harry,

  The down side to using Program Files or Program File (x86), is that Windows 7 puts special restrictions on those folders that may cause some software not to run properly. One of these is an explicit Deny of deleting files and folders, even if you have administrator rights on the computer. Another is saving files.

  I hope it works out for you. When I went to Win7, I just installed to C:\DX4WIN805, copied my save folder and key file to the folder. Then after launching DX4WIN, I opened my log and merged my DX4WIN.INI file. I've had no issues.

Good Luck,

Jesse

Well I got dx4win to run on the windows 7 machine but I had to copy the 
directory from the xp machine and put it in the same directory on win 7 
machine....program files. If I put it under c:\ upon execution of dx4win it 
would open a window saying it could not find the log and dx4win ended up 
minimized in the task bar. From that point I could not open it. So whats the 
downside of having it installed in program files on win 7 and also is there 
any downside in installing by copying the directory across and not using the 
install process which puts entries in the registry.

Thanks,
Harry
