[Xerte] Error at Publish- version 1.9

[William Laakkonen]

Hi Julian,

That is indeed exactly what I am doing. I am a local administrator on the XP
machine, a standard domain user on the 2000. On both the users have full
access rights to the project folders created on the desktop.

Best regards,

Bill Laakkonen
