Hello, looks like that "C:\ProgramData" assumed as CommonApplicationData is only available since Vista/Win2k8. On WinXp & co it is: "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\ApplicationData\" which is not writeable by everyone.
The recommend way to running a service is to create a new user account including profile for it with the required privileges only. For example, create user CruiseControl in group Users. Then using LocalApplicationData is the best choice, as we do currently on Unix with ccnet. On Windows it will be "C:\Users\CruiseControl\AppData\Local" On unix it is: $HOME/.local/share/ (for example /home/ccnet/.local/share/) Daniel Daniel Hommel schrieb: > On 16 Jun., 06:26, Craig Sutherland <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Hello all, >> >> We have identified some issues with Vista, Win2K8 and Win7 not liking >> CC.NET using program files for storing data. >> >> I have implemented CCNET-1565, which moves data storage to >> Environment.GetFolderPath >> (Environment.SpecialFolder.CommonApplicationData) instead of using >> CurrentDirectory (either the Path or Environment versions). >> >> While this gets around the security issue, this will be a breaking >> change.
