ShadersHLSL folder Prepar3D V4

[felan09 6]

Hi guys,
trying to apply a preset I am getting the following error:
ERROR: can't make backup of D:\spiele\Prepar3D v4\ShadersHLSL\PostProcess\HDR.hlsl at D:\spiele\Prepar3D v4\PTA\SHADERS_BACKUP\PostProcess\HDR.hlsl
ERROR: can't make backup of D:\spiele\Prepar3D v4\ShadersHLSL\PostProcess\FXAAResolve.hlsl at D:\spiele\Prepar3D v4\PTA\SHADERS_BACKUP\PostProcess\FXAAResolve.hlsl
I've already did a repair of the Prepar3D-client to get a fresh ShadersHLSL folder. I am using PTA version 2.52. Any ideas whats going wrong?
Many thx in advance!
Kind regards
dirk

Is the program running as administrator (right click the .exe and select "Run as Administrator")?

[felan09 6]

Nope.....guess it is worth a try?

[MattDavies 320]

Yes, it needs elevated permissions to write to files.

Thx Matt, will try it when I have reinstalled the sim next week and give will give feedback then

Is there another place for support?

Did a fresh install of P3D V4 and ran PTA as an admin...same result....

That is entirely a permissions issue.

Try running it under Windows 7 compatibility, some people have said this fixes it for them.

I found a 'temp fix' for this issue....I've created the missing folder by myself.

I am flying right now.  I will give it a try when I am done

thanks
