When I try to update the program I am getting the msg that I have write access to the application or data directory. I am trying then to log in as admin which does not resolve the problem. I have had no problems earlier updating. Any sollution to this? I have tried to restart the PC. Using the fix permissions does not help trying to log in as admin. Pressing close downloads the 23MB but no installation starts.

Make sure you have full read/write permissions all the way up the folder structure that contains the data folder. You may have to add all users to the security tab with full permissions.

It worked when I gave all users the write access but I wonder why this has changed. It worked earlier without me having to make that change.

Some anti virus software has been known to change permissions after FG sets it.
