Trying to configure Roster, howerver something is wrong.

You need to load your guild first and make sure you finished configuration

Clicking that take syou to: http://wowancientknights.com/roster/update.php

However, *WOWDIR*\WTF\Account\*ACCOUNT_NAME*\SavedVariables\CharacterProfiler.lua

does not exist. Actually, there is NO folder named Account! What gives? Any insight?

That's odd. Have you ever logged into WoW with characterprofiler and guildprofiler running? If not, try that first. If you don't have any addons I guess that folder may not have been created yet.

If the account directory doesn't exist, something weird is going on. Are you sure you've got the right wow install?

WoooW (the expression, not the game)

I already installed WoW on serveral low-end and high end Vista PC's with all the Vista version that exists, but didn't saw the "Do you want to run this Blizzard program in Admin mode ?" question.

Normally, a program IS allowed to read/write to its own installed base [DRIVE]\Programs\Program\.... directory in Vista.

What I do understand is that a 'safe-system-setup' would disallow access to this path. It's something equal to forbid the normal user acces to /bin un a Linux/Unix system. Nice - and about time. Just 20 years to late ^^

Anyway, I didn't had to do anything special to find the very-known directory structure of Blizzard on a Vista system. This includes the WTF\MyAccount\SavedVariables directory.

A already known exception is UniUpLoader: it like to touch a directory (The WoW one) that isn't its base directory : Vista doen't like that and the result is that UniUpLoader doesn't work. Making executing UniUpLoader in admin-mode just takes care off this very well.
