David,

Under Windows 10, installing a non signed program will be limited by the OS.
The cross compiled installer is not signed, and we already seen few
dysfunctions.

We have a MSVC version compiling fine but to deploy it's not yet finalized.
This version will be signed and deployed on M$ Store (:=)))...

--- Comment #28 from David Griffiths  ---
Gilles,

My experience is all DOS and Windows, so I can't comment re the cross compiler,
but two things:
- I would think a cross compiled program should be able to do anything a
natively compiled program can do.
- this is not an installer issue, it comes up when the DigiKam program is first
run.

It is just not right that an application program cannot write to a folder on
the C: that is not in the Windows protected area, especially when the machine
only has one drive!

[OT I have some questions re face tags - where is the best place to ask them?]

David,

We don't use Microsoft compiler currently to build whole digiKam Windows
installer. All is cross-compiled under Linux with MXE (MinGw based).
This is perhaps the main problem with this issue...

Access is not sensitive. We don't even trust QFileInfo here. We try to create a
temporary file. Again, if it works in the user folder and not just below C:
everything is ok at the moment. The extended file protection cannot be
deactivated by switching off the UAC. Believe me, we have examined the problem
intensively. You have to wait until digiKam is available in the App Store at
some point.

Drive C: is a system drive because your Windows installation is on it. This
drive is specially protected by the UAC. Drive D: is not a problem if there is
no Windows installation. DigiKam does not have a valid signature from
Microsoft, we cannot change it at the moment. If drive C: is used for images,
then only in the user directory.

I have a similar problem. On a new install, when I run V7.0.0 B2 it asks me
where my photos are located (C:\Players) and it says I do not appear to have
write access to this folder (I do). This is on my laptop running Windows 10
Home.
I installed the same version yesterday on my desktop running the same version
of Windows. The only difference is the photos folder is on D: drive.

Folders under C:\ are difficult to create since the launch of the UAC for
programs there. Even if the Explorer can do it and other programs, digiKam does
not get this permission. I can reproduce the problem here. Either another drive
or a directory in the user area.

Sorry for the delay in responding. I gave up on Digikam, because of this error
and lack of time to solve the problem.
I've just installed Digikam 6.0.0 Beta 2 and have the same issue. I don't want
the database data in Pictures, so I copied the database to C:\Digikam. I
haven't changed from the default internal MySQL database.(In reply to Maik

I followed the instructions to the letter, but Digikam still wouldn't use the
