Have been using latest version of MyInfo on Windows 7 without any problems. Have now Installed Windows 10. The installation was seamless. All apps that I've tried are working except MyInfo. When I try to open it I get the error message

Failed to set data for "MyInfo.exe"

I would be grateful for any help to get MyInfo running again.

Try re-installing MyInfo "as administrator." (Right click on the installation file and select "Run as administrator.")

If that doesn't work, go to Start -> Control Panel -> Troubleshooting -> Programs -> Program Compatibility Troubleshooter. See if MyInfo is listed. If not, select it from the "Not Listed" box and try the recommended setting.

If that doesn't work, we have Petko

Reinstalled as administrator and MyInfo loaded at the end of the installation. Everything worked until I exited and tried to open MyInfo again. Got the same error message. Tried troubleshooting compatibility. Same thing: loaded at the end of the installation but got the same error message after closing and trying to reopen.

Thanks for your suggestions. At least I know that there's a way to open and use MyInfo, even if inconvenient. Too busy with work to take any more time right now to fiddle with this. I'll check with Petko when I have more time.

Just a suggestion, I haven't had this problem and so I haven't tried this so I don't know if this will work but it's worth a try.

Whilst logged in on an administrator account go to the Program file for MyInfo. It's in a folder called Milenix in either C:\Program Files\ or C:\Program Files(x86)\ depending on the number of bits in your system, right click on the program file ( MyInfo.exe ) and select 'Properties' then go to the 'Compatibility' tab the click the checkbox labeled 'Run this program as an administrator'.

See if this solves the problem. I hope it does.
