SbuilderX installed but not working

[Wass124]

I installed sbuilderX successfully but every time i click on the SbuilderX icon i get this window that says
"access to the path C:\Program Files (x86)\SBuilderXini is denied"

I have reinstalled it several times Also am running vista 64 bit

does anyone knows a fix for this problem

I think that's Vistas "User Account Control (UAC)". Install SBuilder not in "C:\Program Files", install it i.e. in "C:\FSPrograms" or something else.

Or, disable UAC.

UAC doesn't allow to write into the program directory.

If you scroll down just 6 threads within this forum, you will see a rather large discussion of exactly this problem, and the solution is there.

If you are patient, Luis will release a new version of SBuilderX soon, and that will also solve this problem.

I am curious... why did you get Vistax64 as an operating system? 64 bits currently has very little advantage over the standard 32 bits. There are some memory advantages, but only for programs that specifically are compiled to take advantage of the 64 bit instruction set. 32 bit programs ( 99.9% of all PC programs ) still are limited to 4GB of memory. If you heavily multitask, and have 8 GB of memory, then there may be some advantage... but still small.
