I can confirm that attempting to make BIAB work from the /Program Files folder or /Program Files (x86) folder is a bad thing. There are other posts from several months ago when we discussed this, and the poster had permission problems that went away when the program was reinstalled in /BB. A staffer from PG Music came on the thread and confirmed this advice. Administrative UAC rights were not sufficient to solve the problem.

It's not that the /BB folder is anything magical; it's that Windows uses the one or two /Program Files folders for a specific use and, at least with BIAB, it causes problems. Put BIAB anywhere else.
