[chirp_users] chirpw.exe.log Permission Denied

[Michael D Earls]

Deleted the config file (dated 8/1/2016) and tried running as admin.

Got the Errors Occurred message.

Thank you

I would recommend 2 things.

1. Delete or rename the chirp.config file. Windows 10 is known for
corrupting it. CHIRP will then create a new one.

2. Right-click the CHIRP shortcut and choose "Run as administrator".
