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.
