Hello,
UAC has nothing to do with that. The "access denied" message you are
getting is because you have RUNNING INSTANCE
of AmiBroker. Close AmiBroker and/or restart windows THEN run the beta
installer.

hmmm but I am in Administrator Mode I believe. The ab5296beta file

logged in as the Adminstrator. I can not find much on the net about
this problem.
Thanks, Ed

This is the BIG issue introduced with Vista.
Either turn off User Account Control, or run the program as
Administrator.
I think this feature was in XP Pro, but turned off by default, in
Vista, it was turned on by default, hence the shock to new users.
Go to [Control Panel]>[User Account] and turn off User Account
Control. Albeit, some rogue program could execute an exe file
without your authorization. BUT if you turn that off, you are now
more in an XP world.
Otherwise, and maybe the safer mode, is to execute the program in
Administrator mode, which in effect YOU are, as this is a PC at
home, and not in a public office environment.
Do look at Total Commander as an Explorer replacement, and check
the boxes under properties to [X] Run as Admin....
Your choice.
All 32 bit applications do go by default to the <x86> program
folder on a 64 bit system.
Comments?
