Thanks TJ. I appreciate your feedback, as always. But the point I was trying to make is that I have been running AB fine for many months on this Vista PC (starting with 5.10 FULL install, then 5.20 FULL install, then upgrade to the various betas thereafter).
On each install and upgrade there were no problems - I could run my automation scripts without incident. It's only with the latest 5.28.1 that the scripts stopped working, giving the elevation error. No files are written outside of the AmiBroker directory. Everything was installed there (again, FULL install). And then the 5.28.1 Beta upgrade was run, in the exact same way that I have run every other upgrade since 5.20 (and I've installed all the betas, one after another, as soon as they were available). Never had any problems before, and that's why the current problem is a mystery. --- In [email protected], "Tomasz Janeczko" <gro...@...> wrote: > > Hello, > > No, you completely miss how User Access Control works on Vista.
