Hi Acidburn, I did that per your recommendation in my other thread.
Deactivating UAC, rebooting, etc., did fix the "shadow copy" issue. However, log files are still not visible. They must be present since resuming my program in live trading reads open transactions from them.
Any other possibilities?
It's been a long time since I fought war with UAC, so I don't remember all details. But you could try:
- moving all the stuff that ended in shadow directory to its proper place, and probably deleting shadow directory alltogether
- doing a full reinstall now that UAC is off (just be careful to manually save anything you care about); to be extra sure, I even deleted remnants of Zorro folder after deinstallation
I remember doing both things, I just don't remember how I won eventually (beside turning UAC off).
To encourage you to keep fighting, after you finally fix your installation, and if you keep UAC turned off, you'll never have any problems again.
Yes, it's a bit painful fighting the OS when you have more interesting stuff to do. But, don't give up!
P.S. Technically, it's Zorro's fault to write to forbidden directories. But, I can also imagine jcl has better ways to spend his time, than to adapt to Ballmer's strange ideas how OS security should be implemented.
