Hello - When I run FFS, at the end when it tries to write the log file to:
C:\Program Files\FreeFileSync
I get this message:
ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED: Access is denied. [CreateFile]
I'm running FFS as a user not as an admin. What can I do to allow FFS to write the log file to that location?
Thanks,

Run as admin or change permissions to that location
Log files don't usually write there though, are you sure you want that?

Thanks. I decided to change the location of the logs to a different sub-dir. It works now.

By default, the FFS save-location for log-files is C:\Users\[UserName]\AppData\Roaming\FreeFileSync\Logs
So, you must have changed that previously.

He probably extracted the "portable" installation into C:\Program Files\FreeFileSync
