Bootleg Questions / Re: [Tutorial] Tifa's Bootleg

This sometimes works for the ACCESS DENIED problem.

Q:I am receiving an ACCESS DENIED error when running Bootleg.
A:Right click on Computer (or My Computer) and go to Properties
  Scroll down to the section titled, 'Computer name, domain, and workgroup settings' and click Change settings
  Go to the advanced tab, and click on Environment Variables
  In the System variables field, find the variable named 'Path', select it and click edit
  Notice the long string of directories from C:\ each separated by a semicolon
  Make sure that C:\Windows\system32 is in the list
  If not add ;C:\Windows\system32 to the string
  No more access denied

This worked for me, but only after I put the system32 filepath on the front of the list, as oppose to at the end. Thank you very much for the post - very odd this would be the thing to fix it.

Sidenote:
If you are uninstall the game the whole game folder will deleted, regardless what's in there.
Therefore I have placed bootleg and all mods in a separate folder.

But this has nothing to do with your "Acess denied" problem.

For me (Win 7 Ultimate 64 Bit) BFE.exe and Bootleg.exe works without I give explicit admin rights, without take ownership and without UAC turned off.

Your problem is really a hard nut ...
I'm going to tinker a little batch file for you, let's see if we get out what.

Sounds great. Waiting anxiously!

try the following
1) Start BFE.exe
2) select "Installation"
3) goto "Temporary Files" and select a non-system-folder, eg "D:\Bootleg040-Cache"
Note, you will need about 20GB space, Bootleg is very wasteful here.

Already done. These are what my current locations look like, a long with the current installation drive and all it contains.

I've been trying to get this mod to work for a few days now unsuccessfully and am stumped. No matter what I try and do I always get the "Access Denied! Installation aborted!" message when trying to run the bootleg.exe through the BFE.exe application. I've done the following in an attempt to allow access:

1. Ran both applications (bootleg.exe & BCE.exe) as administrator through the file properties
2. Disabled AVG / firewall settings
3. Moved all files and folders associated with FF7 and the mod into a separate drive solely made for the mod installation
4. Took ownership of all files located in the FF7 folder (including the mods)
5. Logged into the actual root administrator account and tried running BCE.exe from there
6. UAC is off

I don't know what else to try.. I run Win7 64bit by the way.
