Dear Windows 7 Team.
You've tricked me. Like an ugly girl with tight pants and a lot of makeup at 10 meters I was in love with you. Well, with your product anyway. Well, with the look of your product.
But that's it. You've scorned me for the last time. I was happily installing software when the installer couldn't write to it's own log file.
"Egad!" I exclaimed. "Why canst not the system write to the log of mine own x:\log directory? For I am an admin, yea even the greatest of all system users! Wherefore didst mine privileges run afoul of thee, oh Sir William?"
After much searching, I determined that I must not actually be the owner of the folders. I changed the owner of all the folder in the C drive to my domain user account. I further enabled permissions for additional groups and even tried sharing folders. Alas, the installer still can't write to the log directory.
And this isn't the first time you've performed such shenanigans with my permissions.
So that's it Windows 7. I'm not enamored with you anymore. Next time you want to protect a user from themselves, go find a Apple user.
Love,
Nate
