script works in XP not Vista

[speedi]

The following script works correctly on a winxp system, but does not work correctly on a Vista home premium 32 bit SP1 system...

The ini file is not created in the c:\ root directory as it does on the winxp system... The ini file will look like the one in comments below... Thanks for any help... - Both systems users are administrators

***************************************

; this is done prior to using the backupmydocs macro

; it creates the required ini file and the backup folders

; in the root folder of the source computer (C:\)

#comments-start

[sETTINGS]

username=jimbo

dirnumber=1

where= c:\

howmany=4

#comments-end

While 1

$username = InputBox("Question", "What is the user name", "", "")

If MsgBox(4, "CONFIRM", "You entered: " & $username & " is that correct") = 6 Then

MsgBox(64, "Yes!", "Yes!", 2)

ExitLoop

Else

MsgBox(16, "No!", "No!", 2)

EndIf

WEnd

While 1

$destination = InputBox("Question", "What is the destination folder", "", "")

If MsgBox(4, "CONFIRM", "You entered: " & $destination & " is that correct") = 6 Then

MsgBox(64, "Yes!", "Yes!", 2)

ExitLoop

Else

MsgBox(16, "No!", "No!", 2)

EndIf

WEnd

If FileExists($destination) Then

MsgBox(4096, "Folder check" , $destination & " Exists")

Else

MsgBox(4096, "Folder check" , $destination & " Does NOT exist")

exit

EndIf

$settings = " username=" & $username & @LF & " dirnumber=1" & @LF & " where= " & $destination & @LF & " howmany=4"

IniWriteSection ( "c:\userbackup.ini", "settings", $settings)

; now create four folders at the specified destination

$user = IniRead("c:\userbackup.ini", "settings", "username", "")

$dirno = IniRead("c:\userbackup.ini", "settings", "dirnumber", "")

$where = IniRead("c:\userbackup.ini", "settings", "where", "")

$howmany = IniRead("c:\userbackup.ini", "settings", "howmany", "")

$thedir = $where & "\" & "backup\" & $user & "-" & $dirno

MsgBox(4096, "Test", "This is the destination folder " & $thedir, 10)

For $dirno = 1 to 4

$thedir = $where & "\" & "backup\" & $user & "-" & $dirno

DirCreate($thedir)

Next

Exit

Just a quick tip before i leave office:

- disable UAC on your vista

- take a look at the helpfile for #RequireAdmin

I agree with gkrapp, #RequireAdmin will fix it. Vista doesn't allow creating files in root even as admin, I had that issue before.
