Thank you Phil for your feedback. As I mentioned, the installation is
"perMachine" and we want that any user logged in can run the application
successfully. If I install the application's data files in the Users'
Application Data folder, will there be a single instance of the file for all
users or do I need a separate copy for each user?
For the time being I resolved the issue by keeping the file in the Program
Files and elevating access privileges with this:
<Permission User="Users" GenericAll="yes" ChangePermission="yes"
TakeOwnership="yes" GenericExecute ="yes"
Read="yes" GenericWrite ="yes" GenericRead ="yes"
ReadPermission ="yes" SpecificRightsAll ="yes" />
Thanks again for your help,
Eddie

during the installation
If you want limited users to be able to use the app then data files need to be
installed into folders that limited user's have access to.
At the risk of stating the obvious, folders like User's Application Data are
for user's application data.
Long term, this is the correct answer.
The less correct but practical solution is PermissionEx (or the util
equivalent).
