SUMMARY

On launching the program, the following error occurs:

 PermissionError [Errno 13] Permission Denied 'C:\\Windows\\system32\\kajongg.log' 


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install Kajongg 17.04 using the .msi installer from https://www.opendesktop.org/s/Games/p/1109453/
2. Launch Kajongg from start menu (left click)


OBSERVED RESULT

Program crashes with an error dialog, indicating that the logging system can't write to kajongg.log in the Windows directory


EXPECTED RESULT

Program should start up


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: Windows 10 Pro, Windows 10 Home


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Changing the "start in" directory to C:\temp avoids the problem (although user had to manually create the directory on Windows 10 Pro).

I assume the logging system is somehow writing to the CWD instead of the application data directory.

Closing since installation on Windows is not supported anymore
