I'm setting up a new computer, Windows 11 Home. I have an administrator account that I won't use for normal use, and a user account. I installed Qimage Ultimate 2023.112 from the administrator account, and under that account it works fine. But when I try to start it from my user account, I get the error message:

Qimage is unable to write to the folder:
C:\ProgramData\ddisoftware\Qimage

Please reinstall Qimage in a folder to
which you have write access.

(Screen capture also attached.) All the other software I've installed (MS Office, DxO, Affinity Photo, etc.) seems okay. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Thanks for the prompt reply, and that may be an issue, but it is not the issue. I uninstalled Qimage, copied the installer file over to the user account, switched to the user account, installed, ran, and got the same or a very similar error message. Huh. So I uninstalled again, and reinstalled again under the user account (i.e., for the second time), watching it closely. What I noticed is that even though I was under the user account, of course I had to enter the admin password to start the installer, and then the Qimage installer tried to put the AppData under the admin account instead of the user account. I manually pointed it to the same location except under the user account, and continued with the installation. After installing, I tried to run it, and got the same or a very similar error. See attached screen captures.

Thanks, that RedEdit procedure seems to have worked. The only thing I struggled with there, as someone who only very rarely uses RegEdit, was that in RegEdit, Edit -> New -> Key produced a folder under Qimage-U; I did Edit -> New -> String Value, then made the name AppFolder and the data the correct path for the user account. After that Qimage started up fine.
