- Simple, but not recommended: Change the User Account Control (UAC) Level
config.xml is not in the program files directory an more, look for it in
- C:\Users\(Your Username)\AppData\Local\MXWendlerStageDESIGNER
- C:\Users\(Your Username)\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\MXWendlerStageDESIGNER
