Cannot access logs / directories after upgrade

I upgraded my VarAC from 8.2.0 to 8.4.4 by copying over the exe file.

When starting, it cannot acces the log files or the file in / out directories. I must start as Administrator to have access. Additionally, when running the 8.4.4 exe - my VAR HF (licensed) pops up the eval message.

What is the correct way of upgrading and maintaining my license?

Best regards,

Mark

I tried to install in C:/varac but it is not possible to change the install directory when prompted.

It looks like many are having exactly the same issue.

No issues with 8.4. Its a its all matter of premissions on your end. I guess you have installed in c:\program files... which is not a good pick due to windows permissions issues.

I sugegst you:

1. backup the VaraC directory o

2.Uninstall it

3. Install again but this time in C:\VarAC

4. Restore from the backup the VarAC.db file and VarAC.ini file (To C:\VarAC)

I have the same problem. The log files are in the default location "C:/Program files (x86)/VarAC_qso_log.adi". Unlike Mark I did the upgrade with the windows installer.

I'm also having permission issues after upgrading to v8.4.4. I dowloaded the Windows installer .exe file. I then installed v8.4.4 into the existing C:\VarAC directory. Now, I can't change and save any of VarAC's setup items without terminating VarAC and restarting it in administrator mode.

I suggest you:

1. backup the VarAC directory aside

2. Uninstall it

3. Install again but this time in C:\VarAC

4. Restore from the backup the VarAC.db file and VarAC.ini file (To C:\VarAC)
