Haven''t been here in a long time, but have been happily using Ecco forever.  Same problem as last time...
I'm installing Ecco on Win7.  I went through all the Win7 trouble shooting options, but I get the same error message, ie,  
"GLBSSTUB", and it won't allow the install.
 
I was able to get the solutiion from you folks, and I'm hoping one of you recalls, or knows, what I need to do.  Once that's fixed, it works fine on Win7.
 
Thanks in advance!

1. Traditional Info:
 
"Glbsstub" is created by some installers during setup and gets placed in a Temp          
folder. After setup is done, these temp files are often abandoned and not          
deleted.          
         
When you try to install another program, it finds the old "glbsstub" file and          
tries to use it. Even though the file name is correct, it does not contain the          
exact contents that are needed. Consequently, you get an error.          
         
To avoid this, delete the contents of the Temp folders before starting a new          
installation. This will clear out all the leftovers from old installations and          
make these folders ready for the new installation.          
         
The default Temp locations in XP are Windows\Temp Document and Settings\"logged          
on account"\Local Settings\Temp    
 
You will need to locate the 'virtual' location for your specific WIN7/Vista version.
     
         
You may need to adjust settings in Folder Options>View to see these folders.          
Elect to show hidden and system files and not to hide contents of system          
folders.          
         
Leave the Temp folders in place. Just delete the contents (any files and          
folders). If you run into a file that won't delete, don't worry about it. Leave          
it in place and work around it.          
         
After the Temp folders are cleaned out, try installing the program again.
 
 
 
2. Can also install via the pre-installed ZIP single directory install on eccotools board.
 

most likely issue,  you've placed ecco into WIN7 restricted directory (protected against changing any files).
 
try moving install to a sub directory of current location,  and if not successful,  to an alternative directory in the virtual tree entirely.
 

Oh.  I did get Ecco running using the forums Zip file, but as mentioned, when I enter any new data I get an error message, "Can't write to file; cause unknown".  Seems like the last hurdle.

OK.  You've got my attention.  I relocated the Ecco file, 1st to a temp directory, and next to its own directory in C:\ drive.  It works fine in both.  So.. I relocated under programs again, and it still works fine.  
Why????
Thanks, and I'm really curious.
