Because Windows 7 and Windows Vista operating systems do not allow write access to the Program Files folders to those users who are not running the program as Administrator, making it impossible for them to save changes to the stud material database, the hold-down database, settings, and standard walls, these files are now placed in a new location by WoodWorks.
It was also necessary for those users who were not administrators on their computers to enter a key code each time the program was run.
These restrictions were more severe on Windows 7 than Vista.
The program now stores the support files for the program in the following folders
Windows 7/Vista:
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\WoodWorks\CWC\Canada\8\
Windows XP
C:\Documents and Settings\[username\]Local Settings\Application Data\WoodWorks\CWC\ Canada \8\
The program also saves the files to the following folders:
Windows 7
C:\ProgramData\WoodWorks\CWC\ Canada \8\
Windows XP
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\WoodWorks\CWC\ Canada \8\
These are repositories for the files to be copied to each new user’s data folders when they first use the program. This allows a system administrator to install the program, but others to use it without restrictions.
A more complicated set of procedures for network installations is described in the Read Me files for each program.
