A little more information. The install program puts the data files into
C:\Programdata. The app & the backup program is installed to C:\Program
Files\<appname>. The first time the app runs it copies the data files
to C:\users\don\appdata\local\<appname>.
The backup program will zip all of the data files in that directory with
no problems. But when I try to extract the files, it won't write them
to C:\users\don\appdata\local\<appname>.
I have to go out for supper now. Will continue tomorrow.
