But, once your installer creates a directory under Program Files, let's say MyRevApp, then if your installer has the ability to alter the UAC of folder MyRevApp, and set it to all users - total control, then your Rev app doesn't need admin privileges to read, write, create, and delete to this folder or any other folders you create under MyRevApp. Because all folders and files created under MyRevApp inherit MyRevApp's security settings.
Thanks. The app I'm working with doesn't create any new folders inside the program folder, but that's good to know.
As to the user's Documents, the user who owns the folder usually already has all rights to it. The same applies to specialFolderPath(26) and specialFolderPath(28). Usually ;-)
This is my main question because we have one customer who is having some unusual trouble. He uses Vista. The app was not able to create a folder in his Documents folder. I don't know why, since it has been working for other customers, but I wondered if it was a permissions issue.
If an app is running as administrator, and the user always has rights to their own Documents folder, I thought the app could create folders inside Documents without any trouble. But in this one case, it failed.
