GMT Panzer and its Expansions

Module Support
1

Hello

I have a Windows 7 Home Premium, Service Pack 1, 64 bit, Java SE7 update 17, Vassal 3.2.2, Panzer v1.4, PanzerExp1_1-1.vmdx and PanzerExp2_1-0.vmdx.

The basic Panzer module works fine. While attempting to add the two extensions in my module library, I am receiving this message

The most likely cause is that your user account doesn’t have permission
to write files to that location.

Don’t store data files uncer C:\Program Files. Store them in your user
account.
