hi, yes I can personally do that on my computer but it is not a good solution for my users to require an administrator to grant acces every time they want to launch the software. So I will need a more permanent fix. Is it a significant task to redirect these files to the application data folder or program data folder? thanks, Jeff

Yes, he is. The path "Program Files (x86)" is prima facie evidence of this. He's running 32-bit Python on a 64-bit system. And that's just fine. > 3) What do you mean by "compile" and "compiled executable"? It means he has used something like "py2exe" to turn his Python code into an executable. This is a real problem, and one that pywin32 probably needs to address. On Vista and beyond, the "Program Files" directories are not writable by non-elevated programs. The win32com-generated wrappers need to go somewhere else, like "Local Settings\Temp" or "Local Settings\Apps". -- Tim Roberts, t...@probo.com Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32 _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
