Hi, I have an installer that upgrades an old program and imports the data. To do that, it opens the old program's config file and gets the path to the data files (an access .mdb file, for example). The problem is that most of the times the data was stored in Program Files, so Vista has created a virtual store to save the modified files. When the program accesses Program Files, it is redirected by Vista to the Virtual Store, but when the Custom Action accesses the same folder, it's actually accessing the Program Files folder. I don't really know how this VirtualStore business works, but I guess that Vista doesn't "see" the Custom Action the same way that "sees" the application (regarding user rights or something). My questions are: - Is there any straight forward solution? something I'm missing? - or should I be looking for some sort of registry search or path manipulation to find out where the real data is? - or should I try to find the way of running the CA with the same rights or something than the application, so Vista does the redirection automatically?
Any help will be appreciated, Francesc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
