Error Creating New Database

[Brice Kroll]

I just downloaded and ran the application but when I went to create a new database, i keep getting met with an error message. Anyone have any thoughts?

My guess is that this is happening because of the folder location where you are creating the database. In Windows, creating a subfolder under "C:\Program Files" requires administrative privileges. So you have 2 options. You can either run Hypernomicon as administrator to create the database there, or you can create the database in a different location that doesn't require admin privilege. Personally, I would go for the second option; usually only executables exist in your Program Files folder, not your data.

However, for the first option, if you are running Windows 10, see these instructions.

I will also need to make it provide more useful information in the popup message in that scenario.
