Kevin,
you are right, there are some sticking points in RTC installation. With Windows
Vista/7/8 there is that strange read/write privilege problem. When you're using
a 64 bit variant there are several places for putting the RTC-DLL
(Windows\System32 and Windows\SysWOW64) - but not all of them work. So your
solution to put it into BeamConstructs working directory is a good one.
Unfortunately we can't/will not put the RTC-DLL into our setup for proper
installation since this is part of the RTC driver package and users have to be
free in their decision which version to use.
Kind regards
Jim

I just joined the list and was having the same problem with an RTC4
card. I think it was caused by the program not having read permission
for the correction and firmware files. I put copies in the OpenAPC
directory (which required administrator access on Win 7) and now
everything is working fine. I also put a copy of the rtcdll.dll file
there just for good measure though I don't know if that was necessary.
