Troll alert!

C'mon, man... that ain't helpful in the least. The op comes here for
assistance and you take it as an opportunity to dump on Vista. To what end,
I must ask? To prove you're all knowing? Your opinon will dissuade others
from using Vista? You have nothing better to do?

files\miracle c\examples\mathtest.map,C:\Program Files\Miracle C\ccl.lib ;
file 'c:\program files\miracle c\examples\mathtest.exe' failed to open for
write in linker

Assuming the whole directory structure is correct have you tried moving
the whole thing to someplace other than "Program Files"? Maybe it simply
cannot write there because permissions are set to prevent programs
writing there unless installing something? I don't know, just a guess,
but since program files is system created it is a possibility.

These are the instructions that my instructor gave me:

*Running Miracle C under Vista
*At the command prompt, enter: input takeown /f filepath
<enter>
A message will be display that this completed successfully.
Enter this: icacls filepath /grant loginname:f <enter>
A message will be display that this completed successfully.
Next, go to the windows directory, right mouse click on the _default
file, select properties, select the Program
tab, and remove the checkmark for “Close on Exit.”

However, when I enter the \\\"takeown\\\" command, I recieve a not
recognized message. If anyone knows what I am supposed to be.

I suggest that you ask your instructor for clarification.
BTW, when you tried the "takedown" command, did you replace "filepath" with
an available path on your file system? I suspect several of the literals in
the instructions you quote are intended to be replaced with
environment-specific values. but only your instructor can tell you for sure.

Alternatively, go here for help.
