[WriteLog] Updating CTY Files

[Mike Heideman]

Hi Chuck,
 
When I tried your efforts 2 and 3 recently on Windows XP they repeatedly failed as you describe whether or not I had Administrator privileges.  Then I noticed that there was a tiny checkbox on the confirmation pop-up.  It had something to do with security on the computer.  I clicked on the checkbox to change its state and then both the download and conversion succeeded.
 
Sorry, but like you I don't have ready access to the WriteLog computers so I can't just rerun the conversion to reproduce the exact wording of the checkbox on the pop-up window.
 
This may not be the same issue that you're facing on Windows 10 but thought I'd offer it just in case it helps you or someone else.
