Hi Guys
I suggest you to copy your program files of writelog into
c:/User/[username]/AppData\Local\VirtualStore\WriteLog
I had to do this in Win 7 ultimate and Win 8 to get Writelog running 100%.
I think I had to create a own Writelog folder in that virtualstore folder
One note here is that you cant get save your windows position etc.
