[WriteLog] MMMTY PlugIn Error Message

[ki6dy at sbcglobal.net]

Well I upgraded to Writelog 10.70 and now the plugin installation program runs and says the MMTTY plugin has been installed correctly. However, when I run Writelog, MMTTY is still not showing up as a TNC selection. I dont know if these files are new, but two files named MmTtyTnc.dll and mmtty.ocx are in my Writelog directory. Any more ideas?

This is your problem.  In Vista, writelog.ini is not in the 
system directory when the plug-in installer expects it.  I'm 
sure there are ways around the problem but the only way I 
know is to disable most of the Vista security crap - turn off 
User Account Control and use the system level administrator 
account (not a normal user account with "administrator 
privileges."  

Someone else may have the real work-around but since the plug
in was not written for Vista (is not Vista aware), it can be 
a real issue.
