Windows 8.1

[perandersen]

I ran into problems with backyardeos after upgrading from windows 8.0 to 8.1. The program failed to open a file that was clearly available to it. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling that did not fix the problem. I then uninstalled and installed the program in the directory C:\backyardeos303v and that worked. Near as I can tell some sort of windows 8.1 permission issue was taking place with the default directory probably caused by the upgrade.

Grrr.... windows (or .net) is messing up the config file again... which is a native .net feature <_>

 

You can do 1 of 2 things to fix this error.

 

(1) Install BYE in a new folder as you did or (2) go to the folder below and remove the configuration file.  The next time BYE starts it will re-create the file and you should be good to go.  BYE settings will be set to factory default when you delete this file, including your key.  This means you will need to re-enter your key.

 

C:\Users\<<your user name>>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\BackyardEOSv3\

 

The /AppData/ folder is hidden so you may have to set Windows so it shows hidden folders first.

 

Hope this helps,
