[WriteLog] MMTTY+Vista

[Wolf, DL6JZ]

Joe, 

you are fully right. Windows Vista doesn't allow any user to write into the
system directories or to change any file which is in a system directory. The
most popular system directories are C:\Windows and C:\Programms. Even the
administrator is not allow to write or change inside those directories.

That's why it is not a good idea of the programmers to keep their data-files
and ini-files in these system directories. They should be located in the
user file directory.

Betreff: [WriteLog] MMTTY

I got this message when I tried to install the MMTTY
plugin into Writelog.  This happened because I was
user a new computer with the MS VISTA Operating
system.

Here is what you should do if you are using VISTA

In my case the solution is the following:
- when you do Writelog install under Vista it looks
like two copies of
Writelog.ini are created.
- one copy is in the directory: c:\windows
- one copy is in the directory:
C:\Users\USERXX\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Windows\WriteLog.ini
- the second copy is the one that is used and updated
by Writelog
- the first copy is updated during the MMTTY
installation

This is the reason why when starting Writelog you do
not find in the RTTY
window pull down menu MMTTY...

Just open the writelog.ini file in the \windows
directory, copy the two line
of code under the [RTTY] module and paste them into
the writelog.ini file in
the other directory.

Hope this helps
