When the file extention is rb instead of rbw, a command prompt will show up. After it updates, you should be able to rename it back to lich.rbw. The problem could be something else though.. seems like I would have updated the website after a fix like this.
Yeah, you fixed that Tillmen. For Vista or Win7, lich.rbw just needs to be run as an administrator. To accomplish this, right click the file and select run as admin. If you place your lich folder within your User File, like in the Documents folder you only need to run it as an administrator the initial time. If you do not have it in a user folder, it will need to be run as an administrator every time for every instance so it has permissions to make file changes.
