That never works for me, the DB doesn't get overwritten and neither does the exe. I double checked by opening the DB and checking the version ingame after the paste and after clicking to confirm the overwrite as 'admin'.
I even turned down UAC a level but still

Weird, I've never had an issue, what if you delete the target exe and db first? I was originally doing that (but got lazy the last couple of updates and have had no issues)

I think I remember lots of Vista people having this problem when it first came out, but I don't remember what the fix was. I think it was some sort of protection thing, but that might be what you meant by the UAC....
Sorry not to be of more help....

Yeah UAC was a bit dumber in vista, which is why you had to delete the originals and copy fresh ones in, but I seem to be getting away without doing that in 7

I don't mean to be an arse, but why don't you just turn UAC off?
