New Install Not Creating Folders

#1

Post by techmattr » Tue Sep 18, 2018 5:10 pm

I'm trying to setup a new install. This is on a fresh copy of Windows 10, also tried on a fresh copy of Windows 7. Also tried reinstalling on older installations

The last time I installed this it was v1.2.4 and during the install it asked me something granting permissions to the folders and then it created the folders. Now, I never get asked that question and folders never get created. So the files I need for my clients never get created either. Even though the job appears to run without error.

This is all that gets created:

Also, sometimes when I open the configuration I get access denied on the Scheduled Task part:

Other times it looks fine.

Since you installed in the Program Files folder, all the created folders and generated files are in the ProgramData\GaRyan2\epg123 folder.

For the scheduled task, you are running Win10 and the task was created to use the Network Service profile. This will block a normal user from querying that status... running epg123 elevated will give you visibility into the task status and such.
