( I am the OP): I assume this is related, when I try to a create an index from a folder, I immediately get the error message "Cannot create directory: %PathToDir%_1332433649653"

If you install from the zip file, make sure you extract the zip archive contents to a folder to which you have write access, such as a folder below your home folder (i.e. C:\Users\Your-Name).

If I remember correctly, someone else has already reported problems with extracting to a non-writable folder. I hope I can fix this in an upcoming version.

You were right. I had extracted DocFetcher to C:\Program Files\DocFetcher. After moving it to the desktop, it works. Perhaps an UAC issue, since I have administrator privileges?

[Nam-Quang Tran]

If DocFetcher is under C:\Program Files, it might work if you start DocFetcher as an administrator.
