[windev] UAC and file ownership problem...

[David Little]

In my app, I have a bunch of (maybe 60) data files which I create  - by
copying - during the install.  They are copied to a folder we create
under the %ALLUSERSPROFILE% folder.  the problem is, if the user has UAC
(this is a Vista question for those who wonder what UAC is) turned on,
the files get created just fine, but they are 'owned' by the admin
(admin is required for installation) and they're read-only for everybody
else.

 

Anybody know how to lower the rights required?  In prior versions, we
just put them in a "system" folder under program files, but that's not
an option at all now.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks!
