    Default Solution for VISTA users using Subversion

    Vista has an annoying quirk that protects all files in the Program Files directory. So, if you try to checkout into a C:\Program Files\SCAR 3.13 directory, it will do crazy stuff like give you errors or copy the files to some other weird folder they don't belong.

    The easy solution is to install SCAR OUTSIDE the Program Files directory!

    I got the Could Not Move Plugins error after installing to C:\Program Files\SCAR 3.13. After I uninstalled there and re-installed in C:\SCAR 3.13 it worked perfectly.

    Try it out if you're using the Microsoft VISTA operating system and having problems.

    Or unprotect the program files folder? Or does Vista not allow you to do that?

    You can turn your User Account Control(UAC) off, and it should stop that from happening...

    UAC= the thing that asks you whether or not you want to do X thing, and the noobs at Microsoft decided to put it on like 75% of all things w/ your computer -.-

    Or you could just right click the Scar icon and press "Run as Administer"

    Then it will also work.

    No problem, It took me like 5 days to figure that out too

    A simple rep will suffice

    BTW, how are you a KingBlackDragon?

    go to the properties (right-click) on the scar icon and check 'Run As Administrator' and that will fix the issue also, you'll be able to move plugins that way too
