[WriteLog] Migrating WL 11.x from XP to Win7 Pro?

[Gary AL9A]

Eric,

Not running under Win7, but Vista which is somewhat similar regarding the 
installation.

I don't know about any particular 'gotchas' under Win7, but be aware that 
unlike many other programs WL is designed to be installed under C:\Program 
Files.  This installation will simplify future WL updates, as well as 
automated updates of the cty files and updating of .DAT files in the 
C:\ProgramData\WriteLog folder.  Trying to fool Win7 by installing WL under 
the root directory will surely lead to problems down the road.

Coming from XP, the biggest 'gotcha' you will have to surmount is the 
Virtual Store path location where Win7 will place key elements of the WL 
Programs folder and a Windows folder for your writelog.ini file.  After you 
become accustomed to these differences it really isn't that a big deal.

73,
Gary AL9A

I'm about to migrate WL 11.x from my XP machine to a new Win7 Pro machine.

Are there any 'gotchas' I need to be aware of, or other trips to pass
along?

Thanks & 73,
Eric W3DQ
