[WriteLog] Super Check Partial file problem

[Gary AL9A]

Ok, got the error code thing sorted out.  Apparently the problem was I tried 
to copy the SCP MASTER.DAT files directly from the zip folder.  When I 
extracted all the files from the zip folder then I could copy and paste them 
into the ProgramData folder without getting the error message.  Interesting 
that these files can reside anywhere and you just have to point WL to their 
location.  Not sure how or why I've always had them in ProgramData, but will 
have to play around a bit and find good, convenient and memorable location!

I've never gotten an error code when saving the SCP file.  That's probably
because I never put it in any of the Windows system directories.  This
avoids Virtual Store and permissions issues, as Gary well knows I have from
time to time, like most of us.

Instead, I prefer to store SCP in the specific contest directory: My
Documents/WriteLog/Contest/2016/CQ WPX RTTY, for example.  I like to archive
the SCP version that was current for each contest along with my log files
(*.wl and Cabrillo and ADIF), pre-fill database (when appropriate), report
files, CBS output file, 3830 soapbox, etc.  Thus, all my contest-specific
files are in one place.  One exception is the current cty.dat which now has
a very nice maintenance process in WriteLog.

Ok, I've got windows scattered all over the desktop, but I'll eventually get
used to it.  Got my XMMT.ocx registered ok and the radio is communicating
with WL.  I can key up and send RTTY ok.  Tried downloading the latest SCP
files, but when I try to copy them into C:\ProgramData\WriteLog I get an
error message about unexpected error with a code of 0x80004005.  Do the SCP
files still go into ProgramData?  If so what do I do about the error code to
fix it?
