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.

If you know what you are doing you can install programs anywhere. That is
why the developers of WL give you an option, take the simple option or, if
you know what you are doing, do something else. In these days of cloud
computing it is rather quaint to install in C:\ ! :-)
