You were told how to properly do it.

No need to be rude, Mr smercurio.

Just because you are Knight here, does not mean you should go trolling for an argument with newbies.

You'll forgive me if I take your criticism with a grain of salt.

ASAT,

Are were you able to get it up and running now?

I -am having the same problem.  I am trying to write a tab delimited text file and it never worked when I have my installer install the exe in Program files location. I then switched the installation to C:\.  It doesn't write there all the time. Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesnt. I finally relented and changed security options on C:\ because this is getting really annoying. The fact is, it is very inconsistent when it comes to writing it to the file. Is there something I can do differently?

Hi VeeJay,

by default, everything in Program Files is read-only.

To make a file or folder read/write, you need to specify this in your installer.  See here for instructions:
