Issues with Eagle - UAC virtualization on Windows 7


In EagleCAD, I had issues with UAC virtualization on Windows 7, which occurs when saving files to protected areas of the file system. The libraries that I created were not showing up outside of Eagle, and could only be viewed and opened while in the Eagle program. This problem can be resolved by saving in a different, unprotected location.

In reality, the files are saved at the below location when you write to application folders under program files.

---

For example, if an application attempts to write to “C:\program files\appname\settings.ini” and the user doesn’t have permissions to write to that directory, the write will get redirected to “C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\appname\settings.ini”.
