---------------------------------------------------------------------- ELOQUENCE B.07.10 - patch PE71-0709200 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This patch solves a compatibility problem in Windows Vista. It will be integrated in the Eloquence B.07.10 installation program for the Windows platform. Eloquence B.07.10 must be installed before applying this patch. Severity: PE71-0709200: BUG FIX Patch PE71-0709200 ------------------ Platforms: Windows Vista * Windows Vista by default protects all files and directories below the Program Files directory. Even if logged-on as administrator it is not possible to use a text editor such as Notepad to edit files below the Program Files directory. Depending on which editor program is used, Windows Vista either displays a "permission denied" error message or "virtualizes" the file (i.e., redirects it into a subdirectory below the user-specific %LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore directory). This affects Eloquence because by default its configuration files are located in the "Eloquence\etc" subdirectory below the Program Files directory. As a consequence it is no longer possible to edit the Eloquence configuration files, even if logged-on as administrator, without using cumbersome workarounds such as editing the files in a different directory and then copying them back. This patch PE71-0709200 provides a solution to these problems by creating a local Windows group named "Eloquence Administrators". The user who installs this patch is then made a member of this group. The "Eloquence Administrators" group has modify/delete permissions on the Eloquence configuration subdirectory (by default C:\Program Files\Eloquence\etc) and all contained files. It also has modify/delete permissions on the eqexec.ini file located in the Windows directory. This enables all members of the "Eloquence Administrators" group to edit the Eloquence configuration files without restrictions. * Please note that on Windows operating system versions prior to Windows Vista this patch does not have any effect. Installation on Windows Vista: ------------------------------ Please download and execute the PE71-0709200-win32.exe patch file. The Windows user who installs this patch is made a member of the newly created "Eloquence Administrators" Windows group. Please note that in order to activate this new group membership the user should log-off and log-on after installing this patch. If additional users should be able to configure the Eloquence environment, just add them to the local "Eloquence Administrators" Windows group. To do this: 1) Open the Computer Management Console From the Start Menu, navigate to: Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management Alternatively, from the start menu, open: All Programs -> Accessories -> Run Then enter "compmgmt.msc" and click OK. 2) In the left pane, choose Local Users and Groups -> Groups 3) In the right pane, locate the "Eloquence Administrators" group and open its properties with a doubleclick. The properties dialog allows to change the group's list of members. In case these users are currently logged-on they should then log-off and log-on to activate the new group membership.
