My VB6 program is installed by setup created in InstallShield 12.
Before Vista everything was working fine.
On Vista one of the operations (replace file located in c:\program files\my
program with another file) fails - my research showed me than there is an
error 70, 'Access denied'
After I set manually Full Control to Users of that machine everything works
fine.
Any advice how to set Full Control to Users programmatically from VB6 or
from InstallShield project.

Thank you

I need a full control for Users on "C:\Program Files\My Program" folder.
I had it for more than 10 years with no problem (before Vista). What's wrong
with my wish now?
It looks like you lived your live with 2 legs, you drove many cars. Now
somebody created a new kind of car requirening you to have 3 legs. And they
say that it's much better for you not allowing you to have any choice. They
are going to  replace all existing models with new ones.
I found some way (using Windows script) to give Users full control on
"C:\Program Files\My Program", not on entire "C:\Program Files\". Just on my
folder.
It looks like adjustment will take much less time than full redesign.
What is wrong with this approach?

Thank you

   That sounds like a good idea to me.
How do you achieve that?

  (My best idea for a solution so far is a note saying
something like: "If you have the misfortune to be using
Windows Vista, and you want to use this software,
then you will need to give yourself permission to
fully use your PC."  :)

I'm to lazy to code this correctly so I am trying to hack it and in the
process I will destroy your windows security. Sorry.
