Harry, The down side to using Program Files or Program File (x86), is that Windows 7 puts special restrictions on those folders that may cause some software not to run properly. One of these is an explicit Deny of deleting files and folders, even if you have administrator rights on the computer. Another is saving files.
I hope it works out for you. When I went to Win7, I just installed to C:\DX4WIN805, copied my save folder and key file to the folder. Then after launching DX4WIN, I opened my log and merged my DX4WIN.INI file. I've had no issues.

If I put it under c:\ upon execution of dx4win it would open a window saying it could not find the log and dx4win ended up minimized in the task bar. From that point I could not open it. So whats the downside of having it installed in program files on win 7 and also is there any downside in installing by copying the directory across and not using the install process which puts entries in the registry.
