Setup file (.INI) installed on c:\programmes with Vista or Windows7

[JET_SET]

Dear,

 By default my "buiding kit" installs my SW on "c:\program files\my apply" or "c:\programmes\my apply"

 For this application an INI file is needed to read and write setup parameters. This file is basicly installed on the default folder.

 Unfortunately, we are no longer able to modify anything stored on these folders due to Microsoft rules.

 I already tried to change the compatibility parameters, but I don't want to handle it manually.

The way I have are :

- Define an other folder in the distribution kit

- Change the source code of the application

Is anybody knows an easier solution ?

Thank you

The easiest method is to set a specific installation path while creating the distribution. In this case, however, you cannot avoid that the user manually select a different path, possibly into Program files directory.

An alternative is to move your setup file into a different, available folder: you could for example use the AppData folder, as explained in this thread.
