I think I broke my scratch installation?
Yeah.. I had to reinstall it in a different area to fix it, I don't know why but my Scratch.exe became "write-protected" and not even the uninstaller could get rid of it, so I had to reinstall in a different area - which fixed it - but is there any way to get rid of this "write-protection"?
I'm back.
Maybe.

The folder permissions probably changed. So you need to login as Admin and change the permissions of the old Scratch folder to allow all users to access.

+1
Log into a admin account, and then use the uninstall tool.
I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello!

Sometimes for older programs, you have to install it somewhere you have access to. Programs that are fully compatible with newer versions of Windows I think have to use a manifest file.

Re: I think I broke my scratch installation?
I am the administrator, and I still tried this and it didn't work. I'm on a windows vista computer (Don't ask me why - ask my parents.) but I got another working scratch after installing it on a different location on my computer.
I'm back.
Maybe.
