Bug: "Corrupted backup file" rather than "Permission denied"

Thread needs solution

When double-clicking a .tib file, TrueImage Home 2010 reports:
"Cannot continue the operation as either the backup file is corrupted or it si being used by another process, for example the backup has been mounted as a disk.".

If TrueImage checked the OS error code, it would "know" that the user simply had no permission to open the file. Instead, TrueImage makes a guess -- and a wrong one, at that, needlessly *scaring users* who might believe that their backup is indeed corrupted.

Acronis, grow up: the Windows NT family are multi-user operating systems; people use them _without_ administrative rights, too! Serious QA can easily detect such cases of sloppy Windows98 programming practice.
