NOTE: To use ProSoft 61850 Configuration Manager under the Windows 7 OS,
you must be sure to install ProSoft 61850 Configuration Manager using the Run
as Administrator option. To find this option, right-click on the Setup.exe installer
program icon. In the context menu, you will see the Run as Administrator option.
Click to use this installation option. Be aware, you must install using this option
even if you are already logged in as an Administrator on your network or
personal computer (PC). Using the Run as Administrator option will allow the
ProSoft 61850 Configuration Manager installer to create folders and files on your
PC with proper permissions and security. If you do not use the Run as
Administrator option, ProSoft 61850 Configuration Manager may appear to install
correctly; but you will receive numerous, repeating file access errors whenever
ProSoft 61850 Configuration Manager is running, especially when changing
configuration screens. If this happens, to eliminate the errors, you will have to
completely uninstall ProSoft 61850 Configuration Manager and then re-install
using the Run as Administrator option.
