HI,
I am not sure this is the correct place to raise this question, please
redirect me if not.
I have a VB.NET application with a deployment project. I need to create a
folder on the target machine that can be accessed by the application and
also a service that is also installed and started by the installer. Both
application and service need read/write/modify permissions for admins and
users. I have tried to use the "all users" common application folder but
understand that it has rather restricted permissions. Therefore I am now
trying to create a folder in the root of the windows drive for this purpose.
Unfortunately, using the deployment File System Editor, I do not seem to be
able to accomplish this. I have created a folder with the following
properties in the editor:
Name: VMS
AlwaysCreate: True
DefaultLocation: [WindowsVolume]
The installer creates the folder as a child of the installation folder
(under Program Files) rather than where I want it.
Can someone advise what is wrong wit my folder settings?
Thanks,
Sid.
