Rick,
I don't believe Writelog will work properly when installed in c:\program
files under Win7. Something about write protected file locations?
Isn't there a start menu choice to edit writelog.ini? I'm pretty sure I
have one, but we may have different versions of Writelog.
Best Regards, Eric W1EL

With the advent of Windows 7, my Writelog installation has become very
cumbersome. Windows wants programs installed in c:\Program Files but
Writelog insists on installing itself in c:\ham (where it started out a
decade ago). Even Uninstall/Reinstall still ends up putting Writelog into
c:\ham. Writelog's Convert CTY utility, however, now stores its output in
c:\ProgramData\Writelog but Writelog looks in c:\ham\Programs for the
files. Convert CTY and Writelog | Web Update Data Files no longer work if
the current user is not an administrator, so I have to switch user to run
the utility or to use the internal function. Then, I have to move the
output files from the utility from c:\ProgramData\Writelog to
c:\ham\Programs. Finally, writelog.ini is now stored in a shadow folder
that imitates what used to be c:\Windows which is now off limits to
civilian programs, so I have to create a shortcut to that weird location
which isn't the same weird location as it was with Windows XP. I suspect
Writelog can be installed more closely in accord with Windows 7 conventions
and its utilities and functions may work more intuitively, but so far I've
been unable to break away from c:\ham. Uninstall/Reinstall doesn't help
(here). Does anyone know a safe way to "get with the program?" Perhaps
copying a variety of files into a non-Writelog place, uninstall/reinstall,
tweak the Registry, stuff like that?

Thanks,
Rick
