Can't insert files or compact .mix in version 1.47

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I downloaded version 1.47 from your website (http://xhp.xwis.net/) and I cannot 
seem to insert any new files using the XCC Mixer.exe

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open XCC Mixer.exe
2. Open C:\Program Files\EA Games\Command & Conquer The First Decade\Command & 
Conquer(tm) Tiberian Sun(tm)\SUN\gmenu.mix
3. Drag and drop my modified newmenu.ini
4. Status label at the bottom of the window displays "Insert failed"

I'm only running XCC Mixer.exe at this point (I don't have multiple XCC 
programs accessing the same file). I've also tried deleting 'global mix 
cache.dat' and following the steps again with no success.

I found version 1.21 of the program while searching for a solution and 
following the above steps worked on that version.

Are you running Mixer as administrator (via right-click)?

I was not running as admin on either version of XCC Mixer. I tried running 1.47 
as administrator and I can no longer drag and drop insert files (in this case 
newmenu.ini). When I try to do so the plus icon appears below the mouse cursor 
when I drag my file over the left most column but when I drop it the status bar 
doesn't change and the file list doesn't get updated. I double checked and this 
process still works if I don't run as admin, though it still says "Insert 
failed".

Are you logging to file anywhere, or is there a way to get verbose output from 
the program?

Also I'm running Window 7 64bit if that helps.

Let me know what else I can test for you

Does Compact work?
Are you sure the program has write-access to the MIXs? Normally programms not 
running as administrator don't have write-access to C:\PF

I did not know that programs not running as admin didn't have write access to 
program files.

I did a few quick tests with both XCC Mixer.exe files:

With 1.21 installed in C:\tools\xcc_utilities\1.21
1. open C:\Users\ME\workspace\tibsun\gmenu.mix (copied file)
2. insert C:\Users\ME\workspace\tibsun\test\newmenu.ini --> Success
3. compact --> Success

With 1.21 installed in C:\tools\xcc_utilities\1.21
1. open C:\Program Files\EA Games\Command & Conquer The First Decade\Command & 
Conquer(tm) Tiberian Sun(tm)\SUN\gmenu.mix
2. insert C:\Users\ME\workspace\tibsun\test\newmenu.ini --> Success
3. compact --> Success

With 1.47 installed in C:\tools\xcc_utilities\1.47
1. open C:\Users\ME\workspace\tibsun\gmenu.mix (copied file)
2. insert C:\Users\ME\workspace\tibsun\test\newmenu.ini --> Success
3. compact --> Success

With 1.47 installed in C:\tools\xcc_utilities\1.47
1. open C:\Program Files\EA Games\Command & Conquer The First Decade\Command & 
Conquer(tm) Tiberian Sun(tm)\SUN\gmenu.mix
2. insert C:\Users\ME\workspace\tibsun\test\newmenu.ini --> Failed
3. compact --> Failed

I checked and neither executable is currently set up to run as admin. In all 
cases insert is done via drag and drop of the file from another window and 
compact is done via right click in the XCC Mixer program window. The one 
difference though is that I simply unzipped the 1.21 installation from a .zip 
file while the 1.47 installation came from the XCC_Utilities.exe downloaded 
from your site.

Hope that helps

What Windows version are you running? I've no idea why 1.21 would be able to 
write to C:\PF
