Is that the same location as the older client was? Myself I use a C:\Utils
folder to avoid permission issues in Program files. Xymon XML config files
tell it where to create logs, etc. Make sure service has permission to
create files there.
here is an excerpt of my xymonclient_config.xml:
<XymonSettings>
<servers>xymon.xxxx.xxx</servers>
<clientlogfile>c:\Logs\xymonclient.log</clientlogfile>
<clientconfigfile>c:\Utils\clientconfig.cfg</clientconfigfile>
<clientlogretain>3</clientlogretain>
<clientfqdn>0</clientfqdn>
<clientlower>0</clientlower>
<clientremotecfgexec>1</clientremotecfgexec>
</XymonSettings>
