I updated PodWrangler to work on Windows Vista. Vista puts a new system in place called User Access Control(UAC) that restricts a lot of what even administrators can do without providing approval to the app itself. One of the restrictions is that system directories like c:\windows are off-limits for writing files to. That’s a problem because PodWrangler wrote to the windows directory. It also wrote to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE registry branch which is also off-limits in Vista. In the end I just changed it to write to the CSIDL_APPDATA location and to use HKEY_CURRENT_USER instead. This change only affects Vista since it checks the Windows version before hand so current users should rock along just fine. Use the “Check for updates” as always to update automagically.
