Hi!
I have a beginner question

I've installed Esenthel, and Visual Studio 2010 Express for C++.

Within the default Tutorial project, I first set the compiler path to where VS is installed, then I opened up the first example program and attempted to run it.

I got numerous errors which are here:

"Error writing to file "C:\Program Files(x86)\Esenthel\Projects\_Build_\1 - Basic App\Source\@DRAW_GROUP_CHR.h"

"Error writing to file "C:\Program Files(x86)\Esenthel\Projects\_Build_\1 - Basic App\Source\@ITEM_TYPE.h"

"Error writing to file "C:\Program Files(x86)\Esenthel\Projects\_Build_\1 - Basic App\Source\@OBJ_TYPE.h"

"Error copying "Code/icon.ico" to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Esenthel\Projects\_Build_\1 - Basic App\icon.ico"

I looked around the forums for an answer to this, and couldn't find one.
I'm running on Windows 8, and have the latest version of the Esenthel demo.

That looks like a windows permissions error. I notice that your project directory is under Program Files(x86) which is probably not a good place to have it as Windows tends to restrict writes to this directory under normal operation.

I'd suggest re-installing it under another directory or moving the project directory say under 'My Documents". The Installation Instructions advise installing under C:\Esenthel

Reinstalled in a different location.
Works like a charm now, thanks for the help!
