The data for the application is stored in the database and data store directories. The location of these directories will depend on the operating system and is defaulted to the common application data directory. All of the users must have full read and write access to these directories. When possible the install program for WinLoG RT will try to set the permissions of these directories properly. For administrative users this will not be a problem; however, limited users may need to be given permission to read and write to these directories. The location and method of setting the permissions will vary with the type of Windows operating system as described below.

The default location for the database and data store files is "c:\ProgramData\GAEA\WinlogRT4". Typically non-administrative (limited) users may only have read access to this directory. To change the permissions on this directory to grant limited users full control follow the steps below.

2.In Windows Explorer browse to the directory "c:\ProgramData" and highlight the folder "WinlogRT4".
