Poseidon 2 MAXScript Problem

Description

I'm trying to run the Poseidon 2 script found here at ScriptSpot.com. Judging by the date it may not any longer be compatible with Max. I'm running 3DS Max Design 2011 x64 on a Windows 7 PC. When you first run the script it requests a location to store presets and is then supposed to create a "poseidon.ini" file in the scripts dir. As soon as I browse a path and hit the Enter, I get the follow message popping up in a little window titled: MAXScript Rollout Handler Exception.

The message in that window says: Runtime error: FileStream cannot create: C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max Design 2011\scripts\Poseidon.ini

I thought maybe it was related to a problem with 64 bit Max so tried it in the 32 bit version and got the same results. I also got the same results in Max 2009 and 2010.

Any ideas? Anyone?

TIA,

Dennis
