Brian, I'm using INNO and have checked/set app folder properties. It all works with Vista Home Premium. It's Vista Home Basic that's causing the problem I'm seeing (downloaded FTP file into my product's (c:\product) folder is disappearing immediately after the FTP download completes).
I'm beginning to wonder if there's something quirky about the specific machine I'm testing with.
