Windows 7 aMSN Error

[BigTobster]

Hi

When starting aMSN I am getting this crazy error. Have checked permissions for the folder of scripts etc and tried the SVN thing. No joy.

Any ideas?

Haven't tried in Linux environment but would be nice to get working on Windows 7.

Have uninstalled and reinstalled and deleted C: aMSN stuff and reinstalled. Also no joy

Thanks

Could you run amsn as admin just to be sure?

[BigTobster]

Just tried that and come up with exact same error... 

Any other thoughts?

Did you installed aMSN as an admin? If not, try to do that.

[BigTobster]

still no joy I'm afraid. Same error

Right-click on the profiles folder, then Properties > Security and edit to put total control in your user account.

Hey

I think I get what you are saying. Sorry if I am being stupid (couldn't find a profiles folder to right click on ya see  )

I live dangerously and its set at the bottom level

Sorry I get what you mean now - all profile settings are full control, administrator etc on both the Profile folder and the Program files folder. Scripts and profile both have full permissions

Sorry for the denseness there

Any other ideas?

Thanks for posting BTW

You can try what I suggested! Run amsn as administrator (right click > run as admin)

[BigTobster]

OK now I do feel stupid!

Same error. Really this time!

Thoughts? Have obviously tried above stuff and reinstall again - no joy.

Thanks

Could you make a screenshot of the "Security/Permisions" Tab in Properties window?

Here you go

Thats alright yh?

[alexandernst]

That's the wrong folder...
The folder that you must look for is C:\Program Files\aMSN\

Also, could you make sure that also "SYSTEM" and "Everyone" have "Full control" over that folder?

[BigTobster]

Ok sorry...

And administrator has full access same as that

Same error - even when run as admin
 

[alexandernst]

Oops, I was wrong too. 
You need full control access in your .amsn folder in C:\Users\your_user\<I'm lost here>\.amsn  (haven't used Vista/7 never :p)
