Have you tried what Paul said, especially the part about running as another user (create one if needed) or as administrator? Over the years I’ve installed RB/Xojo on a lot of computers and never had any problems. It’s sorta sad that this is your first experience with Xojo. At least you can see that we really are a community at work 🙂 We do try to help where possible. ---

Hi Dirk. The one thing that I did not try was Pauls suggestion that I try another user. So I set up another user and presto! it is working. I have joined a great community and feel privileged to have received the help from so many people. Many thanks all. Now the fun starts, it looked a very different IDE to what I have used for more years than I can recall back from the Quick Basic days. Regards to all Tony ---

I guess you should probably mark this as solved or answered I think. Don’t ask how, I never asked a question, so I never needed to mark one as solved. I’ve only helped on here. ---
