Quote - It's not a kludge - it's how application are meant to be installed (and on mac and Linux too, though the names are different). The application goes in Program Files, and shouldn't include files that need to be changed after installation barring updates, settings go in UsersyouAppDatasome folder, those are the things that the application needs to change but the user isn't intended to access directly, and documents (files that the user will open and work with directly) go in the Documents folder (which by default is also in the Users folder, though it can easily be moved).
By that logic, if the whole programme is installed in the My Documents folder (instead of just the specific files that need to be changed), you most definitely should not have permissions issues.
After all, it really doesn't matter to Windows (or the registry) where software is installed. People are running Poser from drives other than the C: drive. The whole point of permissions is to stay away from folders that have been hobbled by UAC.
Oh, btw, ongoing saga... I went ahead and disabled UAC AND the firewall and still have the following issue:
Locally, the Render Queue Manager picks up the job from Poser Pro 2010, but FFRender continuously fails ... the message given is:
"Launching FFRender for parsing...
..FFRender failed to launch."
in an endless list of apparent attempts.
Based on advice of people who have had similar issues, I have done the following:
-- I commented out the localhosts ::1 entry in the
/Windows/System32/drivers/etc/
hosts file and rebooted the machine
-- I have entered FFRender and Poser Pro 2010 in the firewall as
allowed programmes, for local network and internet
-- I have run both PP2010 and Queue Manager as administrator
The errors have not gone away... queue manager is not doing as advertised.
