How - don't you have write access restrictions to the C: drive?

So, today, the upgrade was done, and I have come as far as to copy the
 installation

Can you do
exw
backendw.exe

Are you running the program from the same folder as myEuFile

It looks to me like its lokking for the path from the _ROOT_ of the C: drive
ie 

\EUPHORIA\bin\backendw.exe

translates to

c:\EUPHORIA\bin\backendw.exe

so can you you create a euphoria directory in your c: drive root
(c:\EUPHORIA)

Fun fun fun
