Age of Mythology cannot create log file

I am trying to set up the game "Age of Mythology" on my son's user account. I am the administrator, and it works fine in my account, but when I try to run it from his account, I get the "cannot create log file" error message.

I've tried doing an install under his user name, but still get this message.

An thoughts?

Thanks,

Boris

This sounds like a permissions issue. You probably need to enable read and write access to the folder where the log file is created. From your administrator account, Get info on that folder > expand Ownership and Permissions > expand Details > change Others to Read and Write.
