OK - I have to say that I have seen odd permissions behaviour on  
Vista, so something may be slightly hosed in your setup. It may be  
very sensitive to who it (Vista) thinks "owns" a directory tree...

In the end I googled for a GUI tool to fix the permissions right down  
the tree and that worked, though as Greg has pointed out I think you  
can do much the same from the command line.

For older windows systems that was done with cacls... from memory  
something like:

        cacls mydir /t /e /c /g "users":F

or something - but you better check that... Also "users" needs to be  
set to some sensible user or group name, of course...

...And... I'm pretty sure cacls was deprecated for Vista anyway, so  
you need to use icacls instead, which I don't know, though I *think*  
it is broadly the same.

Sourceforge will yield SetACL - which I am told is the currently  
favoured solution anyway, though I did not use it myself...

Ah, right - the IDE files... That makes more sense, and as you say it  
ought to Just Work.
I thought you meant it was bitching about the source files (and so  
might explain why it was having issues.)
