SC4 Region Census 0.8.3

I'm having trouble getting this new version to work, namely the following error message:

 

Quote

Errors occurred:

The logfile 'C:\Program Files (x86)\RegionCensus\RegionCensus.exe.log' could not be opened: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'C:\\ProgramFiles (x86)\\Region Census\\RegionCensus.exe.log'

 

Any advice or guidance on how to fix this part?

Try installing it outside of the Program Files. I put my SC4 apps in a D:\Games\SC4 Apps folder (except for those that require Program Files like PIM-X).  The permissions is a clue that it's a Windows thing.

Second technical support comment! Now the problem I notice is the program isn't saving JPGs directly, only the source PNG version of the city / region view files! Seems I have something else unresolved in my installation if this is happening.

 

This is the error log message I'm getting:

Can you try using the latest release and see if that fixes your issue?
