Sometimes under Windows you need to "run as administrator" a program even if you are logged in as administrator.

I know it doesn't make any sense, but it is Windows!

The only time that may happen is if people think they are in the "administrators" group when they really aren't, and the only reason they'll have a "run as administrator" option is if they aren't in that group.

In my experience this is not true, at least for Vista and 7

There are times that people are actually called administrator and yet are not actually administrators. Especially in earlier versions of windows. I wonder if all the problems are people with xp? I guess we'll find out when Intrinsic tries it in win7.

Works fine on Win7, i tested Foreman on another XP machine and that didn't work either. Never tried Foreman before so tested it(both your versions) with 31.25 and still no joy.
As a test i downloaded the original Foreman and that works with 31.25, but not 34.xx. So it seems like your version doesn't like XP :/

And it's always user error, either through not understanding what's going on and why, or it's setup incorrectly(groups/permissions/policy settings etc) in the 1st place. Computers follow the rules given to them, not just randomly decide to be awkward/illogical, although it seems like that sometime ;p

Even if you're a member of the Administrators group, you'll still have 'Run as administrator' if you have User Account Control turned on (which it is by default).

In a fat-fingered moment while setting up another military squad I accidentally created a captain of the guard rather than a militia captain.  His squad of near-legendary hammerdwarves equipped with high quality silver hammers then took it upon themselves to dispense justice to all the mandate breakers in the fortress.  It was quite messy.

Ok, I don't know what is going on, but I made some changes to the code. Please try this version on XP

Even if this doesn't work, it should show some addictional info in the log screen.

Doesn't display the memory error this time. Clicking OK just bombs it out like the previous versions.

The line "DF checksum: 0x0" means that dwarf foreman wasn't able to find the checksum

I've changed the code that finds the checksum and added some more info in the log:

New message "Unable to read process memory."

Nothing else was displayed in the window like it was the other 7.5 you posted apart from the very 1st line.

I hope this version works, cause I'm nearly out of ideas:

Ok, I've done a little messing around with the dfjobs file to make it more to my personal liking, but there are a few jobs I would like to add and am not entirly sure how to go about doing so. How would you add the following?....

Make rock mugs
Make bone crafts
Make shell crafts
Make ivory crafts
Make totems (from skulls)

For the first four you can try these:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

For the last, Dwarf Foreman can't work with skull yet. I will try to fix this in one of the next versions.
