Hi,

I've just tried the latest version of OP (January 2011) on W7. Installs and works with no problems.

As to the creation of things like the Autorun folder. These are not created on installation, they're created as needed. For example there is no Autorun until the Macros are saved (or until something else that needs the folder is done).

However, this is not the problem, Dave's problem is that the program is accessing a registry key that does not exist, and that under normal circumstances the program is not intended to access that registry key.

On my W7, this key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVers
ion\\Explorer\\Shell Folders\\AppData

exists and has a sensible value. So even if it was used it would work.

Other thing about user rights, it's not just installation, it's also the rights you have when running the program.
