    Cannot open companies in Pastel Xpress V11 after windows 10 update

    Did upgrade to Windows 10 from Windows 7 and Pastel Xpress V11 worked prefectly.
    Windows update installed Windows 10 update and now unable to open companies as message displayed that companies were deleted and to open companies by adding company.
    Open company shows add company and locate server but unable to open when you click on company name.
    Did restore to previous window restore point but still unable to open
    When opening pastel you get a message Registration , error 2147221503 .The application is not valid.Please specify correct application path. Registration cannot continue.
    Help and guidance would be appreciated
    Thanks and Regards
    Bertie

    I managed to sort it out, a permissions issue. Took me a couple of hours to figure it out. By the way you can go straight to Win10 depending on your installer. You just use your Win7 key when it asks for licensing info.
    How's this for a deal, you upgrade to the latest Windows and I'll fix it if it stops working.

    Hi Lynette

    Did you ever manage to sort out this problem. I tried to update my registration this morning and now I can't open any of my companies.

    Thanks
