The error you got is a discretionary access control error (it can be called an Active Directory error as well). In simple terms, it means a folder with extra security, and DACL (discretionary access control list) denied access to a read request.

It is a very common error if you keep program information in a user folder under DACL security, and something goes wrong. A few people ran into this when I was running the SM forums.

The common denominator.. Putting Runtimes in the user desktop area, and the aftermath of Poser crashing with files or directories open.... The system will find the error, repair it, and create a new default list (users that have permissions). Poof, Poser cant read it anymore because it is in a DACL directory on only the user has permission by inheritance of the root directory with a default list.... Simplified explanation, and a downside to DACL... Also a good reason why you should not put program info in those directories.

Moving the Runtime to an area that is not under DACL permissions is the best thing to do. None of that security will be there for Windows to attempt to repair..
