Llevram (5413 posts) May-14-12, 10:13 PM (Pacific) "WizEdit and Windows 7 ... not a good mixture?" Hey, just wondering if anyone happens to be using WizEdit on Windows 7? I got an email from a guy who is trying to do that, but not having much success. He got an error during installation about a DLL failing to auto/self register and gets a permission denied (70) error when trying to save changes. I've looked up these issues and given him what advice I could (having no Windows 7 experience) ... just thought I would see if anyone else had this issue and figured it out ... What do you want from free, 14 year old shareware :-? Tools for Wizardry(r) 7   Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Given that you did it for free.. and that it's so old.. I didn't bother trying to waste your time with it   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Ya, I had the "what do you want for free" thought, but the problem-solver in me wanted to know what was what I researched it a bit and had the guy try several things, none of which worked. I think it comes down to the installer putting things in the "right place" for Window 7 to be happy. It doesn't like any random program writing to files outside of it's (that program's) control. Thanks for confirming that it wasn't just a fluke for this guy. Tools for Wizardry(r) 7   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

I don't wizedit installed, but the one thing I do know, is do NOT put any of the files in the program directories. Use a completely different directory. Windows 7 does not like it if you do.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
