Hey there, once you're finished, count on me for promotion among the Spanish speakers ;)
Good Job so far!

It's some crappy security thing Microsoft implemented for Vista. When you try to edit anything in any folder located within Program Files, it'll save the files somewhere else in the computer, so it won't affect the computer itself if whatever you installed/saved contained a virus. It's for safety measures, but it's stupid really =/.

Than moving the said files out of the program files folder should resolve the problem, no?

Yes and no. It'll solve the StB english patch installation, but if you try to to edit something again, it will move them back to the folders.
Playing it in Administrator Mode (Under Compatibility tab after right-clicking and selecting properties) will prevent and stop this.

I've tried some of the Vista suggestions, and while they've probably helped, they haven't resolved all of the Vista problems I've been seeing. However, I have been able to at lease isolate the problems, and luckily it's nothing related to the actual patching code. I was able to get a patched version of StB up and running Vista by sort of sidestepping the issues, but I'll need to figure out a real solution before I can put out a release (in other words I don't want to release a separate version with Vista support). Speaking of releases, I tried to get into contact with someone from gensokyo.org but I haven't heard back in like a week. So what I'll probably do is use mediafire or something to get it out there at first and maybe word will get around and something better will come up. In the meantime, if anyone reading this has an in with gensokyo.org or the touhou wikia and can get the word out that this project needs hosting I'd really appreciate it.
