It was a permission problem. If I set Legacy to always run as administrator then it can write to that folder and missing.txt is created. However it is risky to run exe files as administrator, so for W 7 compatibility I guess the programmers should make Legacy write instead to the data folder (which I have on a separate partition) and not to the Legacy program folder.
