Hi Antoine:

As I understand you are trying to make a backup copy from version 5.8 before upgrading into 5.91.

The DBSave folder is inside C:\Program Files and protected with system because you didn't install v5.8 by disabling first UAC and secondly install as administrator. Simply select a different folder in the Backup-File section of the Save function which is not inside Program Files. Or better make a backup file in an external Pen Drive or Hard Disk. Make two backups copies.

If you want to make sure you are copying the right database, make also a manual copy of the database (as well as the INI configuration file) you will find in:

C:\USERS\YOURUSERNAME\APPDATA\LOCAL\VIRTUALSTORE\PROGRAM FILES(x86)\SWISSLOG.

Once copied, you have to disable UAC, restart and run version 5.91 as administrator. Select Upgrade from 5.2, select your hard drive letter and leave Swisslog searching where version 5.8 is installed. It will take long time because earlier installers of Swisslog were not using the Windows registry to set the installation folder as current installer does (which makes future updates runs really quick). If Swisslog detects another folder different from the one you know version 5.8 is installed, manually select the right folder. After finishing the upgrade process open Swisslog and should appear version 5.91 but with 0 QSO (because now your system is using the Program Files folder and because you installed previous version without disabling UAC nor installing as admin your real working folder was C:\USERS\YOURUSERNAME\APPDATA\LOCAL\VIRTUALSTORE\PROGRAM FILES(x86)\SWISSLOG.

Try to restore your previous backup make with the Save function of version 5.8. If you have all QSO then all it's OK!! Otherwise you will have to manually copy the database located in C:\USERS\YOURUSERNAME\APPDATA\LOCAL\VIRTUALSTORE\PROGRAM FILES(x86)\SWISSLOG\DB in to C:\Program Files(x86)\Swisslog\DB. Copy too the SWISSLV5.INI from that folder into C:\Program Files(x86)\Swisslog. Now when running Swisslog again your will have all QSO and the same configuration you had in v5.8. From now on you will only have to install all programs as administrator and everything will work perfectly!
