alice-teacher Alice 3.3 on Windows 7 32bit

[Tom Stokke]

Hi Bill,

We have Windows machines, so YMMV. Having said that, if I remember correctly, there is one file that gets updated every time you open Alice 3. I believe it's an error or log file in the base directory of Alice (c:\program files\Alice 3 for us). You need to be able to write to that file, which of course, is in a folder where the admins really don't want uses to be able to write. I'm not a security guy, so I can't remember if we changed that permissions just for that file or for the whole folder, but that fixed our problems with Alice not loading. 

Hope this helps.

Tom

I have installed this on my student computers here at East Granby Middle School and when we try to launch the program, it won't run unless we right-click and run as administrator.  My students are locked down so they cannot launch it this way.  Do you have any suggestions on how to work around this?
