Permission Denied

Hi, just installed BMAX on my new comp. Vista 64.

I'm looking through the help pages and whenever I click 'Example' it copies the example into the bit correctly but when I run I get the following error.

Building .var
Compiling:.var.bmx
flat assembler version 1.66
3 passes, 3487 bytes.
Linking:.var.debug.exe
C:/Program Files (x86)/BlitzMax/bin/ld.exe: cannot open output file C:/Program Files (x86)/BlitzMax/docs/html/Modules/BASIC/BlitzMax runtime/.var.debug.exe: Permission denied
Build Error: Failed to link C:/Program Files (x86)/BlitzMax/docs/html/Modules/BASIC/BlitzMax runtime/.var.debug.exe

-------------------------
If I copy the example to mydocument it works fine.

Is this normal?

Thanks
Jim

You've probably got User Account Control turned on. When you compile the app its trying to create files in the Program Files folder, and UAC isn't going to let it do that.

Yes, its normal. You can either turn UAC off, as its a pain in the ass anyway. Or you can copy the examples folder to your My Documents folder.

thanks

Or you can do a right click on the desired map, settings, and then set the user permissions.
