Bit Che on Non-administrator account (Windows 7)

<< < (2/2)

poekie:
I do have some problems in windows 7 with my administrator account.
Bit che works properly but it doesn't update the scripts?
Any tips?

I run mc afee firewall, settings for Bit Che are ok.
No error message, just nothing
next time try to update message that there are updates
But when i try to update still nothing.

thanks Sas

So, the problem is the program is running without any scripts. If you load the programs an Admin it now has the scripts and can search. I do not have a fix but I may, what is the location of the scripts? If they are in a file under the admins account then the non-admin won't have access to them so maybe just moving them to the non-admin location would fix this.

ThermoDust:
Okay, I found a fix if you run as a non-admin on Windows 7.
So you need to go into the admins "C:\Users\AdminAccountWithBitChe\AppData\Roaming\Convivea" and copy the Bit_Che folder to
"C:\Users\Non-AdminAccount\AppData\Roaming\Convivea".
Once I did this my BitChe ran perfect under my Non-Admin account.

hello... i'm not sure WHY the bug occurs, but I can verify that there is a weird permissions glitch when you install from Windows 7 with a non-administrator account. I think the bug is actually in the Installer/Setup application, and not Bit Che itself. Im pretty sure if you launch the Bit Che installer as a non-administrator, it will install the scripts into the administrator account.

ThermoDust's solution (above) is the correct answer for now.

Also, if you have trouble updating scripts AFTER you do that.. then try this:

1. in Bit Che, go to File, and select "Open App Data Folder.."
2. go into the "Scripts" folder
3. delete all of the ".ini" files. if you dont have the extension visible, then delete all of the "Configuration Settings" files.  NOTE: Be careful not to delete any of the other files, including the .exe or .dll files.
4. in Bit Che, go to About, and select "Update Scripts..."
5. Restart Bit Che

Because, it seems that if you copy the files over from an administrator account, then the non-administrator account sometimes can not delete those files.
