To be honest, I'm not surprised you might have been having problems on a
Windows 7/8 PC if WL had not been installed simply to C:\Weatherlink, which
is always the recommended folder nowadays**. There are all sorts of
potential security clashes if it's buried in \Program Files somewhere. There
are possible workarounds, though not always reliable, but it's 100% simpler
just to use C:\Weatherlink.

I installed WeatherLink into my DropBox folder and have been running it
from there, via a shortcut to WL.exe on the desktop, for about two years
without any problems. The advantage to me is twofold:-

It provides a 'secure' store for all my data,

When I change my computer I don't have to re-instal WL.

I run Agent similarly.
