WL7 to WL8 migration fails: DataSets.txt cannot be found

Hi,

It's saying it can't find the DataSet.txt file so can't migrate. Will it also migrate all my strategies in the same directories they're in now?

Thanks

You must have installed WL7 and/or WL8 in some custom directory. You can always import your Strategies into WL8 from their folders in WL7, but you’ll need to recreate your DataSets.

When I'm in my "normal" Windows user account but running WL8 as "Administrator", Windows executes the Administrator's profile on startup rather than the %USERNAME% profile on startup. How do I force WL8 to run in administrator mode but with my normal %USERNAME% profile instead of the Administrators profile? Is there a simple way to do this without messing with the privileges on my normal Windows User account?

I'm not sure why the migration tool has to run as Administrator in the first place. Seems like poor Windows app design.
