Scott,
Thanks for the offer, but we have a simple solution, although it's quite dumb and makes me wonder why MS introduced this change. If we install our application to C:\ABC\ rather than C:\Program Files\ABC Then we have no problems, data under ABC works, all users have access etc, etc. Makes me think others will take this simple fix and defeat the purpose of having a Program Files directory. The more complicated solutions that exist for Vista would not work on XP easily, this is an easy solution where one build of our software will work on both XP & Vista.

In that the usual right-click run as approach (or in the services console, ensure System Administrator is being run). As although you as user have Administrator rights, you still need to force UAC to run it as Administrator anyway. Sounds like the application is having resolution problems around UAC. If you want to take this offline, I can work you through it or if I can't find the answer, I can grab some abled bodied MS Propella heads to help out in the platform space. - Scott Barnes Dale Evangelist Microsoft.

Our program logs events and writes logs to disk and is having great problems under vista, something to do with Virtualization. Which as I understand it is something along the line of it sees our program writing files into a directory under the program files\program name\data\ And says, you shouldn't do that I'll put it somewhere else (virtually) and everything kind of goes hay wire from there. What we really want is to have our installer give the application permission to run and store data in this directory with read and write access for all users. I've done a lot of searching, but hoping someone out there may have gone through this already and point us in the right direction.
