    Hi,

    When trying to install subtitle workshop 6, I get a failure and an error saying "Error opening file for writing C:\Program Files\Subtitleworkshop\Subtitleworkshop.exe"
    "Click abort to stop the installation, ignore, retry etc..."

    This happened on two different systems, one running Win 7 x64 and the other Win 7 x86.

      The same thing happens here with the W7 but the version 2.5 works.

    Hi there.

    You need to run the installer as Administrator (right-click the installer and select "Run as administrator").

    Alternatively, you can simply change the installation folder to a non-system folder that doesn't require Administrator privileges.

    Another alternative is to use the portable version instead of the installer (see http://subworkshop.sf.net/download.php).

      Thanks. Though I find it weird that that is neccesary, even though I only have one account on my pc, which is automatically the administrator account. With other software I don't have to do this ever.
