Hi everyone,

I had to re-install FG after my hard drive crashed and I'm running into an error. I tried to uninstall and reinstall FG, but its still doing it.
I haven't had this issue before.

The error says:

Runtime Error: Unable to save file (C:/ProgramData/Fantasy Grounds/GlobalRegistry.lua)-Error (13): Permission Denied
Database Notice: Campaign Saved.

This occurs every few mins and creates a popup over fantasy grounds.

How can I fix this from happening?

thanks for your help!

This means that the data folder for Fantasy Grounds is set to requires administrator permissions to change files.

There are a few workarounds:
* Run FG as administrator
* Change the Security settings on the folder (C:/ProgramData/Fantasy Grounds/) to allow the "Everyone" group to have full control.
* Run the FG Settings, change the data folder to "C:/Users/<UserName>/AppData/Roaming/Fantasy Grounds/", and Update again.

There is a patch that I'm releasing tomorrow with a new installer that will help with new installations, but does not fix old ones. Specifically, it's a combination of issues related to security of default folders (ProgramData vs. AppData), and running as a user without admin rights. We were just able to nail down what the issue was exactly recently.
