When I try to open Pro Series it tells me that the write access to the application directory is needed. What is this because it is also doing it in tax year 2014.

Are your programs installed on your hard drive or some type of removable or virtual drive?

The actual program is on the administrator hard drive, but I am getting this error on one of my workstations.

Ah, ok. I know nothing about network installs, sorry.

I had the same problem. The resolution was to set the ProSeries desktop icon so that the app opens as administrator. It is an advanced setting.
