| Editing Macros in
Windows Vista
Macros must be edited manually if you are using PASS 2005 or NCSS 2007
(Version 0) and the Windows Vista
operating system.
Details: Windows Vista incorporates a new security measure that creates a virtual
subdirectory when a user attempts to write something to the Program
Files directory. NCSS currently works by reading and writing settings
and macros files to the C:\Program Files\NCSS 2007\Settings directory
and the C:\Program Files\NCSS 2007\Macros directory, respectively. When
you attempt to edit a macro, the program cannot find the file to be
edited if it was saved in the virtual directory. When a macro or template file is saved in Windows Vista
running
UAC, the
file is not saved in the C:\Program Files\NCSS 2007 directory, but
instead in the C:\Users
\<username>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\NCSS 2007 directory.
Solution:
Navigate to
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore
\Program Files\NCSS 2007 and edit the macro files using Notepad.
Alternatively, if you have
administrative privileges on your machine, you can force Vista
to write directly to the C:\Program Files\NCSS 2007 directory by
right-clicking on C:\Program Files\NCSS 2007\NCSS2007.exe, selecting
"Properties", selecting the "Compatibility" tab, and checking the box
next to "Run this program as an administrator".
Recommendation: Upgrade
to PASS 2008 and/or update to NCSS 2007
(Version 1).
