Preferences cannot be stored error

[fyzm7357]

I just recently installed PL/SQL Developer 7.1.5.1398 on my Vista machine and I'm getting this error. I never had this issue when it was installed on XP SP3. Any ideas?

Due to the "extra security" in Vista, you may not have access to update files in c:\Program Files?

Does All Around have a resolution for this? I have a bunch of developers moving onto Vista and we are hitting the same/similar issue. We get no error message, the preferences are simply not saved. We are using server 2008 64 bit with 64bit Oracle 10g client.

Support info is showing the following:

Preference Files
C:\Users\steve_pence\AppData\Roaming\PLSQL Developer\Preferences\steve_pence\Default.ini
C:\Users\steve_pence\AppData\Roaming\PLSQL Developer\Preferences\steve_pence\Default.ini

We'd appreciate a reply on this.

Thanks,
Steve

This will be fixed in the next release. At the moment you can solve this with a command-line parameter:

"C:\Program Files\PLSQL Developer\plsqldev.exe" PREFPATH="%APPDATA%\PLSQL Developer\Preferences"
