Application crashes if installed in C:\Program Files
Hi, I've created an application that crashes with a Vista error message when it's installed in C:\Program Files(the default location). If I just copy the application folder into, say, C:\, it works. The application also works flawlessly in XP. I'm guessing this has something to do with the fact that Vista doesn't allow write access to C:\Program Files? How can I get the application to work? From what I've read online, Vista is supposed to transparently relocate the files to C:\Users\username\AppData\VirtualStore\Program Files\My Application\ but this doesn't seem to happen since it crashes. My application works if I run it as administrator btw. It's built with Visual Studio 2005 with the Vista SP1 update. Thanks. -- galapogos |
