I install my app under "Program Files" directory. And I install data, under "ProgramData" directory:
Environment.SpecialFolder.CommonApplicationData
In programData I have created folder to save data. Example:
C:ProgramDataMyAppMyDatahere I have files and folders
Under XP all runs fine. But not under Vista or W7 OS.
I can read files in this directory, but I can not write files, I can not create new files, etc. The user is logged as Admin.
Where I can store data without restrictions? I need store data in a folder visible for all users
EDITED:
I have this code in my app.manifest file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<asmv1:assembly manifestVersion="1.0" xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" xmlns:asmv1="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" xmlns:asmv2="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v2" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
