WinVice & Windows 10 error
OK. I've dealt with this for a week or two and it's time to see if a solution is available.
WinVice 2.4 (win64 x64 mingw)
Anytime I double click a .d64, I get this error:
VICE Error!
Cannot startup logging system.
I hit enter (or click OK) and that is that. I haven't had any issues with Vice, just this silly error.
Any way to fix this? I can deal with hitting enter, but would rather Vice just boot up without my having to do so. |

good story bro
however, none of that applies to VICE (no installer sf could rape) - or even using the bug tracker.
*facepalm* indeed. |

Ah I see, so avoiding sites broadly known for exploiting their users is facepalm material now? My bad, it seems I didn't got the memo *sigh*
Anyhow, since WinVice works fine from non-system partitions, I guess it's not even a bug, but rather something related to Windows' UAC settings? |

its like avoiding the US because of slavery and NSA. but ok - each to his own.
and no, its clearly a bug - applications shouldnt write to the program directory, but to the user home directory. |

If Windows then the one true way would be to store settings in registry and logging to event log ;) Ok, maybe not. |

LOL. Well, I don't have the extra time nor the energy to clean shit smeared all over my computer, so for some reason (unusual, I know) I prefer it to stay ad- and malwareless, what the fuck this has to do with the US and slavery? :D I don't visit sites which have/had bad rep till they don't prove their trustability, as simple as that.
OK, I'll report this fucking bug. On SourceForge. Jesus. |

Use the nightly builds which don't come from Sourceforge if you don't like it.
By the way Sourceforge was sold back in January and with that there were a few changes. The experimental installer "improvements" were stopped for good. |

Yeah and apparently now they do malware scan on all the hosted stuff too, but my approach is always "better safe than sorry". I am really afraid to lose or compromise important/confidential client data. Yep I understand that may seem paranoid, but it could easily affect my life quite negatively. |

I can understand that. The easiest is to have several limited virtual machines for different purposes instead of putting everything in one basket. |
