Permission errors?

I have a couple of users having errors when trying to save files. Both are Exception errors. One says "Could not remove backup file 'c:\<path>'" and the other one says "[Permission denied]".

Both of the users migrated to Windows 7. After they transfered their data to the Windows 7 machine, the errors started.

Has anyone seen this issue?

I have the exact same issue since upgrading to Windows 7. I am using RH 9.

Have you found a solution?

Hi there

I'm aware that Windows 7 is rather persnickety about the C drive. Aside from being an overall bad move to store things directly on the root of C, it is very protective of this location.

However, having said that, I do see you also followed that with <path>, which would seem to infer that you have an actual folder off the root of C. And that should be perfectly permissable. Advisable even. That's how I work myself as well as suggesting it to class participants when I facilitate RoboHelp classes.

You might want to ensure that you have total ownership of the folder. You might want to investigate Ultimate Windows Tweaker.

Could it also be a robohelp version issue? From memory, RH8 is the first supported for Vista/Win7, so maybe if an earlier version is being usedyou might encounter problems?
