User Account Access problem
« on: June 01, 2008, 11:01:25 pm »
I have installed Code::Blocks and I like it a lot, but it has problems with my user account.  If I use it in an administrator account it works fine and sees the QT files just fine, but when I use it in a Power User account, it will not compile my QT file and can not see the QT files to link in with the other files.  I shared both folders and gave my power user account full access, but still it will not compile.  Also, when I installed it, it did not ask my to install for all users as a lot of programs do.  How do I resolve this problem, I really would rather not switch to an administrator account every time I need to use Code::Blocks.  I have a couple of other programs and they work fine, even the mingw gcc compiler though I did have to change some permissions to get gcc to compile as well, but at least it works now unlike Code::Blocks which is being very stubborn.  I would really like to get this to work as it seems to be a very good IDE.   :x

Try copying the configuration files.

Mine is under
"C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\codeblocks"
or
"%USERPROFILE%\Application Data\codeblocks"
