Ok I know this question has been asked to death but I still have not seen a good answer. I have created an application in VS2010 using VB.NET. In my application I have an error log that is an XML file located in the
<pre class="prettyprint lang-vb Public gstLocalErrorLogLocation As String = Application.StartupPath & "ErrorLog"[/code]
that gets written to in the event of an error so I can trouble shoot application easier. My application also downloads files from our FTP site and puts the files in
<pre class="prettyprint lang-vb Public gstLocalDownloadLocation As String = Application.StartupPath & "download"[/code]
So I have files that get read and written to as well and created and deleted all in the Application.StartupPath which is either "c
rogram Files(Application Directory)(Some Directory)(Some File)" or "crogram Files (x86)(Application Directory)(Some
Directory)(Some File)" depending on 32bit or 64bit Windows 7.
After creating the setup I install it on my test machine that have both Windows 7 32bit and 64bit. Everything in the application works great till I have to write to, delete or creat a file in those directories above. I know it is an access issue and the
UAC. This will get installed on numerous systems so the options I have seen to change file or folder permission on the computers manually is not an option. What has to happen is after I install the application it just works like when you install it on XP.
Some post have suggested that you us a user with administrator privilages or group which is all fine and dandy but the user I have used to test the application has all of that.
So what I am asking is how do you create an application with VS2010 in VB.NET that after creating a setup package and installing on Windows 7 will just work with out "Access to the path crogram Files(Application Directory)(Some Directory)(Some File)
is denied." If I have to install this on 100 Windows 7 computers it has to be a concreate no manually doing anything just install and work like when we installed on XP.
