Is it possible to run pgp 6.5.8 freeware on Windows 7 64 bit machine?
- by Johnny Holmes
I am trying to get the PGP Command Line -Freeware Version 6.5.8 by Networks Associates working on a Wndows 7 64 bit machine. Does anyone know if it is possible?
I installed it in C:\pgp
when i run pgp, it keeps telling me that it can't find the pgp.cfg file.
My PGPPATH is defined and set to C:\pgp
I have also included this path in my Path variable
Can anyone tell me what i am doing wrong. The documentation states that:
"The first time you start PGP, the software checks to see if the environment
variable PGPPATH is defined. If PGPPATH is defined, the software puts the
pgp.cfg in the %PGPPATH% directory"
Edit:
This is most likely a Windows 7 professional folder rights issue, since the file pgp.cfg can't get written. I tried my best given the folder full rights, but im not 100% confident that i did it right. Anyone help me?
