Hi all, not sure if this problem is mentioned anywhere but I've looked everywhere I can think with no luck. My problem is when I'm installing programs and they try to create directories they don't actually manage :) Everything is working perfectly other than that, I can create the directories manually and install software (no probs creating the files so I guess it's not a permissions problem?) run the programs and do everything I need to do. But it's doing my head in having to create all the directories by hand. Anyone know what the problem/fix is here? Thanks, Jado.

Or you are thinking that the apps can't create directories while it is another problem in fact - many recent installation programs are failing. If you want to get more information, run with -debugmsg +relay,+dosfs,+file yourapp.exe &>yourtrace.txt and post here the 200 last lines before the first occurence of the directory name in the trace.
