Re: Thanks for the assistance
It would be helpful if this could be documented somewhere!
What do you mean? To document fact that you cannot have a configuration file in a folder, where you do not have a write permissions to?

Bug reports without an attached log file are usually useless.

Thanks, Martin. I tried Beta 5.2 and that solved the problem. I have full admin rights to the folder, and I can edit the .ini file so it wasn't a write access issue.
You probably do not have a write access toC:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP\
.
It would help, if you post a complete error, not just "error 5". But I suppose that WinSCP is able to copy configuration from INI file to registry, but needs to delete the INI file afterwards, what obviously fails (no permissions).
Some solutions:
- Delete the INI yourself (make back up). This would work providing the import to registry succeeded.
- Run WinSCP as administrator for the INI to registry switch.
- Use WinSCP 5.2 beta that allows importing configuration from INI file located anywhere:

C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP\
