You have a file/folder is write-protected mode I think.

[Dr_Doolittle]

I unchecked the read-only option for the program data folder and the installation folder, but the problem remains. Though after I unchecked that option and applied it, the next time i open properties it's filled in again. I used administrator mode to apply the settings (I use win7).

Now i also unchecked the read-only option for the FA install directory. Didn't help. Am I doing it right by unchecking the read-only option at the properties window?

No idea what your problem is, all I can see is that

Code: Select all

EXCEPTION: WindowsError((5, 'Access is denied'))

Means that the lobby have no read or write access to some files.

I have bypassed the problem by installing the lobby in public documents. Thanks for the advice.
