Runtime error 75

[Shaddy the guy]

So today I said "screw it, I can make a level". So I've been following the directions about setting up on the Wiki, but when it comes to loading the IWAD, I click on SRB2.srb in my folder, and when I hit OK in SRB2 Doom Builder, it gives me "runtime error 75" and crashes. Any fixes for what's going on here?

Sounds like a permissions issue. Where is your SRB2.srb? It should be under your home folder, and owned by you. You can verify this by right-clicking the SRB2.srb file in Explorer, selecting 'Properties', and looking under the 'Security' tab. Make sure your user has permission to read it.

When you click OK, Doom Builder tries to save the IWAD information in its config file, which unfortunately is probably somewhere in Program Files. Best to run the program as an administrator, at least when you know you're going to make changes to the settings, because otherwise it's just going to blow up whenever it tries to open up the config file for writing.
