Used Gamex about 10 years ago.  building a Mame bartop for a friend and remembered how easy GE was to setup.  the new wizard has me a bit puzzled.  i don't have all my Mame folders setup yet; however, I have a bunch of working roms and my Mame FE works fine.  here's my log.  any help would be greatly appreciated.  probably something easy, I just seem to find the resolution.

The log is ptetty self explanatory here. Access is denied to that path. I would suggest moving stuff out of c:\program files.

It looks specifically like you set the alternate automatic download path to this. Windows by default doses not allow directories to be created here and that is why you are getting the error.
