Larry has done a great job in bringing version 3.04 to us.
MS in its wisdom has at some point changed the user access rights to the Program Files /
Program Files (x86) folder, however some users want to install IWB here.
Even if your user account is an admin account, when you create a folder in Program Files you are not given write permissions. This stops you from creating a lib file as the temporary file ($$$lib.link) cannot be written to the folder.
If you want to install IWB in the Program Files folder then please follow the screenshots attached for a permanent fix, otherwise you have to run IWBDev.exe as admin everytime.
Note - After installation - close the IDE down first, also in the screenshots my user account is listed as Users (Anne-PC\Users) - Anne being my better half!
How to:
1. Go to C:\Program Files\IWBDev3 folder - right click and select "Properties" - you should see step 1 screen.
2. Click on the "Security" tab (at the top).
3. Now click the "Edit" box (in the middle).
4. Click on Users (Anne-PC\Users) (or whatever name you have).
5. Tick "Full Control".
6. Click "Apply" and "OK" and "OK" again to close the boxes down.
You now have full Read/Write permissions.
Start up IWB again and you can now (or should be able to) create lib files without any problems...
