latest upgrades don't run

[gdpsnake]

I downloaded and installed v9.0 and then 9.0b for winspww2 as well as v10.0 and 10.0b for winspmbt. Now the games .exe and game options menu will not run the game (all worked fine before latest updates.
I have the CD version of winspww2.

"Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."

I have tried running as administrator and checked compatibility. It all worked fine before the updates. I tried both with shortcuts and directly out of the file. Scenario hack and campaign hack won't run either.

I have windows 10. They worked fine in win 10 before the updates.
Please advise.
