First and foremost I would like to thanks Aaron Yarbough and Samer from freewaregenious.com as they discovered a bug while installing and running ABS 2.5.1
We will be releasing 2.5.2 soon; we need to verify our workaround works as expected.
It seems windows has changed significantly security rules in "Program Files" area. Have in mind, ABS is a portable application, installed or better say copied into "Program Files". What that means, you can copy the whole folder to a thumb drive or USB memory and it should run fine. ABS was designed to have little to non interaction with the windows registry. Now, since ABS is storing all reports and files index-files reports in "Program Files" the security kicks-in and stops the execution.
Fortunately this is fixable with an external file read

or a formal explanation from Microsoft,

The above issue should not be a problem in XP or less secured Windows 7 systems!!!
