[Dx4win] DX4WIN and Windows 8.1

[Isidro Acosta Hernández]

Hello all.

A friend of mine, also a DX4WIN v8.05 user, has just installed it in his new 
laptop with Windows 8.1.  As suggested by instal program, he installed it in 
c:\dx4win805.  Now, each time he tries to save the log file (either typing 
Alt-S or going to File > Save), he gets this message:

An exception occurred!
Unable to create directory
[ok]

But the file is saved correctly.

My friend re-installed the program in c:\program files\dx4win805.  Now, no 
error message appears, but, he noted that the log file is no longer stored 
in the save folder, but in:

c:\users\{username}\appdata\local\virtualstore\program files\dx4win805\save

Question:  Is there a way to disable the above error messages when 
installing DX4WIN in root directory, or to save the data files in the 
DX4WIN's own save folder, not in "c:\users\{username}\local..."?

Thanks to all for any reply and -hopefully- good ideas.
