TRK Monster v3.9.8 works more or less with uTorrent v2.2 (built 23071) but doesn't work with the latest stable built 23703.

Windows7 Pro 64-bit

Hello,

Please follow next steps:
1. Check if your uTorrent executable (exe-file) has name utorrent.exe. Rename it to utorrent.exe if its not.
2. Try to launch TRK and uTorrent with Administrative privileges.

Sure, It was done first.
But another funny things, TRK installs by default to:
"C:\Users\"User"\AppData\Roaming\Torrent Ratio Keeper\",
and forced installation to "C:\Program Files" or "C:\Program Files (x86)" makes TRK non-workable with any version of the uTorrent.
Also, in the installation folder presents the HML file with name Histroy. Should it be History?

If Windows UAC is on (default Vista/7 settings), the "Program Files" folder is virtual. It doesn't allow to self-update the app without UAC popup, but many applications like Google Chrome, antiviruses require often self-update (bug fixes, new signatures, new modules, etc). Developers found that UAC popup is very annoying for users and the way to avoid it is to install the software to the other folder. Google installs the software to "C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Roaming\" and we decided to do the same.

Histroy.xml stores trackers' statistics. It's not a spelling mistake. :)

P.S. If you install to "C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Roaming\", does TRK work fine?

Yes, it works only in "C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Roaming\".

Thank you for reply. We will add it to FAQ. Users don't change install folder in most cases. Actually, you can install TRK to any folder except virtual folders (Windows, Program Files).

For some strange reason TRK doesn't 'works when uTorrent launched with Administrative privileges, but works otherwise.

We will install Windows 7 64bit for tests. Thank you for your report!
