Re: perldb.ini permission problem on Windows 11

"You or the superuser must be the owner, and it must not be writable by anyone but its owner."

So, do what it says. Have you tried logging in under the ADMINISTRATOR account and changing the permissions for perldb.ini ?

I recommend that you download a program called "NT Permissions tool" from any file hosting site. This is a single file executable, so it's not a big program that you have to install. On my computer I renamed them to NPTx86.exe and NPTx64.exe and placed them in a directory where they are accessible from anywhere, so I can launch it anytime. These two files are about 700KB each. It's a really handy tool for managing NTFS file permissions for single or multiple files and directories. Without this tool, I am not even sure how else I would have resolved some of my issues. (Earlier I backed up my files to another hard drive, and I tried to open them on another computer, it wouldn't let me. This tool was really helpful!)

I tried the tool. Basically, it does what you can do in Properties->Security. Thanks for the suggestion. See my comments below, for an update.	[reply]
