Windows 8! Pain!

Try installing it in your users' documents folder. Unless it mucks with the registry, that may work.

That'd be my guess. It's probably a permissions thing, so install it anywhere except the Program Files directories (or the Windows directory, of course).
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

And that would be a no! But I 'don't need the app on that Laptop' famous last words... :-D

Tried that, I think I did that the first time I installed it (and it worked!) :wtf:
You probably did, but just in case, did you try running the (installed?) program as Administrator after the installation? (And running the installation as administrator?)

Hi All, Company policy is to lock everything down to a degree where it's next to impossible to do anything. So to use some tools we use on a regular basis (which were written in Delphi using stone tablets, back in the day!) we need to Admins on the PC's, which is at odds with IT security! So I am trying to run (I have managed to install it!) one of the Applications on a Windows 8 Laptop... I know I managed to get it running at one stage but how???? :confused::mad::confused:

Spawn tickets to ICT each time something can not be done. Their policy, their responsibility. Your due diligence ends at the very moment you open a ticket, if deliveries are missed it can't be your fault. After a handful of missed deliveries things will change.

True dat. And if the perception is that you're trying to work around their policies, then the tables will be turned against you. And if there's nothing else you can do while things get fixed, track the time you're spending waiting for someone else to do their jobs. Email summaries.
