Hello I have a problem with the aMule version for Windows i'm using Windows Vista and want to change the directory of Incoming and Temp but finally when i change it in aMule and restart it. It go back to the previous folders witch are protected under vista in the C:/users/user/Appdata/Roaming and C:/users/user/documents and there's no way to change them can someone help me ? I disabled UAC.

[tired]

the error which i get :

FATAL ERROR

Permission on the aMule configuration directory too strick!
aMule cannot proceed.To fix this, you must set read/write/exec permissions for the folder C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\aMule

Can anyone help me ??

Uninstall and then re-install.  When you start it next, go in to the preferences and you set your for download, etc. to  folders other than the Windows user folders.  These have by default special protection in Vista.  There is a way to turn it off, but I don't know how and moving the directories will serve your purposes just as well.

Actually, it's probably going to be more complicated than that. aMule *config* has to go somewhere else I guess.

But unfortunatelly there is a problem I can only one time open aMule, the next time I'm getting this fatal error and need to delete the both folders to reopen it, but it deletes all my preferences, and it happend even if i don't change anything in options only open-close and next time if i want to open can't "Fatal Error".

I will be grateful for help.

And I'm using the zip version not exe, but I also tried the exe the same.

[tired]

Why can't anyone help me ? even on the forum aMule.

[Kry]

Because it won't work unles you install it on a different folder, probably.

I'm not installing it ! i use the zip version even if i install it on the D it goes to the same place C:/users/user/appdata/roaming can anyone help me ?

[skolnick]

installing a program means uncompressing it and configuring it to make it work, no matter if you use the zip, the exe or the whatever version.

Regards.

I said that can't open aMule twice because i've got this error ! If i want to open it after closing i need to delete the both folders in C:/users/user/appdata/roaming/amule and C:/users/user/documents/amule downloads.

[tired]

Halo ?? can anyone help me ?

[skolnick]

[tired]

Yes i did it but as i said that i can only open one time amule the next time it doesn't want to open get this fatal error which i wrote and not only i have this problem on vista my friend also.
So can someone finally help me properly ?

Hi tired,

I don't know about Vista, but this is what they say about old eMules on Vista, but I guess you already tried this when installing to D:/.

Vista protects the directory where programms are stored against unauthorized write access and redirects any write access to a virtual directory. This applies to eMule because currently its configuration files as well as downloads are stored there, so you might have trouble finding your downloads later. The easiest solution for now is to install eMule into a seperate directory, not located in the default programm folder. So if the installer suggests "C:\Program Files\eMule" change it to "C:\eMule" for example.

I'm only confused that Vista protects write access to your user directory, but as I already mentioned, I have no experience with Vista. Could you check the permissions of these directories again, maybe it was created with wrong permissions?

Hello
I installed amule and also i have my account in vista as administrator. I did also that what you wrote i installed it ofcourse not on the C:/ on the D:/ it's the same because when i open amule it creates this folders automatically on C:/users/user... < (these folders are even hide in vista) and i can't do anything with this.

I did that thing with emule and yes it works but i really want to use amule.
