Re: Installation to wrong user account

I cannot start it from bik. It will start automatically if I log into my admin account, but since I don't want to do that on a regular basis it's not running at all. There is a shortcut if I log into the admin account.

Re: Installation to wrong user account

I did a quick deinstall, reboot, reinstall to verify I checked via command prompt before install >echo %APPDATA% C:|Users\bik\AppData\Roaming (bik is the non-admin account) During the installation it selected C:|Users\usr\AppData\Roaming for the data location (usr is the admin account) After install...

Re: Installation to wrong user account

I deinstalled again, then confirmed that the directory: user/usr/Appdata/roaming/fahclient was removed and also that there was no fahclient directory for user/bik I reinstalled with the same results: I logged out of the admin account (usr), and while logged into the non-admin account (bik), installe...

Re: Installation to wrong user account

The account "usr" is the admin account. I don't ever start FAH manually. It starts automatically if I sign in to my admin account (which I rarely do) The latest installation selected \usr\AppData for data even though it's the admin account, and I was not signed in to the admin account. I a...

Re: Installation to wrong user account

You misread my message. I installed each time while NOT logged into my admin account. Just to make sure, I deinstalled again, rebooted into my user (non-admin) account, and reinstalled without making any changes to the install options. I got the exact same result described in my original post. I did...

Installation to wrong user account

When I installed FAH, from my Windows 10 user account, it said it installed fine, it started up after installation and completed a couple units. It didn't create a shortcut on my desktop, but I thought maybe I had selected that as an option. When I restarted the computer the next day, FAH did not st...
