guess is that the security feature doesn't like that my ancient Windows 8.1 doesn't store the game files in Program Files>Shrapnel Games>The Camo Workshop>WinSPWW2>PBEM Games. It insists on storing them in Users>User>AppData>Local>VirtualStore>Program Files>Shrapnel Games>The Camo Workshop>WinSPWW2>PBEM Games. Even though the game is located in the former location. Ask Andy about that, would you please?"



Yes he is correct. His "ancient Windows 8.1 doesn't store the game files in Program Files"

And as Andy pointed out the GG does say don't install into Program files in any windows OS > Vista.

Early versions of the game installer pre vista did install to program files but we changed that and we changed that so long ago it's nearly forgotten about so "Did you install into Program files" is not the first thing we think about when things like this happen.

He need to re-install his game into C: and then you can both PBEM,
