Running Qimage Ultimate 2016.155 under Windows 10.  When I try to start it I get two dialog boxes:

Cannot open file xxxx.flt.  Access denied.  (the file exists and has the proper file attributes)

Exception EFOpenError in module Qimage ....

I can open Q in administrator mode.  I have tried resetting printer and ALL setting to no avail.  I tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no luck.  When starting the program normally (i.e. not as administrator), I always get the same dialog boxes as described above looking for the same flt file.

I double checked the file attribute of the flt file and it was Archive (which is normal).

I renamed the file and started Q and got the same error, albeit with another flt file.

I renamed the directory so Q could not access it, and Q started normally.

I set the active directory to one that worked (and contained flt files).  I renamed the problem directory back to it's original name.  Successfully restarted Q (now on the good directory).  From the history list I selected the bad directory and got the file access error on the flt.

Using File Explorer, I went to the bad directory and moved all the flt files to a subdirectory.  Oddly, this required administrative privileges to do.  Suspecting this was the root cause, I checked the permissions for the problem directory.  Even though the good and problem directory had the same permissions, I expanded the permissions in the problem directory and that solved the problem.

The drive containing the files is a backup drive that I move from one machine to another.  I've been swapping drives between machines for years and never run into this problem.  Nevertheless, I suspect this may have something to do with it.
