Description
In _connect.BRAIN versions prior to 5.06, the application LogPathConfig.exe is executed during setup. During this process, existing permissions on %ProgramData% are deleted and replaced, granting the Windows group Everyone full control instead of restricting access to %ProgramData%\Bizerba\_connect.BRAIN or %ProgramData%\Bizerba\BCT. Starting with _connect.BRAIN 5.06, the setup no longer executes this tool.

What to do
Solution: * Upgrade to _connect.BRAIN 5.06 or later * Important: An update does not restore previously overwritten permissions on %ProgramData%. Permissions must be manually reviewed and corrected by a Windows administrator. Only a fresh installation of _connect.BRAIN 5.06 or later ensures that the issue does not occur during setup.
Workaround: An automatic correction is not possible, as restoring permissions on %ProgramData% may affect other installed software. A Windows administrator can reduce the risk by: * reviewing and restoring required permissions on %ProgramData%, and * removing full control permissions for Everyone, and * assigning full control permissions for Everyone specifically to %ProgramData%\Bizerba\_connect.BRAIN or %ProgramData%\Bizerba\BCT.
