I've installed TWGS on my Windows 7 laptop, so I could have a look. I'm getting the following error:

TWGS can only be run from an Administrator account.

This use is an administrator (a domain administrator and therefore a local administrator as well). Right clicing and selecting "run as administrator" doesn't help...

...i can't manage to put it on the "live" system either, because of the color install issue. I live 10,000 miles away from where that server is (no exaggeration) so I can't install it on the local console.

Aw well, I guess I'll have to wait a little longer! (;

I've had reports of this, and I made some changes that I hope will address the issue. The update is hopefully going to be released in the next few hours. Dealing with sick kids and wife today :(

When it's out, please try again and report back whether or not it fixed the problem.

Thanks!

Thanks John!
It now works on my windows 7 laptop!

I haven't tried it on the remote server... because I'm too broke this week to pay the $10 for a five users license. Will do that by the end of the month.

I just wanted to say THANK YOU on behalf of all of us. You can't be making loads of money, this must be a labour of love!

All the best,

Still can not get twgsserv.exe to load correctly. It says it is loaded but it isn't.

With version 2.01, when I try and run twgs.exe I received, "TWGS can only be run from an Administrator account". :(

FIXED!!!!!! :D :D :lol:

My virus scan program was partially to blame.

I rebooted my computer and the virus scan program checks for modified programs. TWGS was flagged and a program that had been modified, so it was not allowing it to run....... ugg! I didn't have that issue with v1.03, but at least now it loads as a service :)

Thanks for all the help JP!!!! :)
