You may have to be more explicit. I suspect that it's not the installer that's changing the file - it's your code in a custom action. An elevated install can write data pretty much everywhere. However an impersonated custom action running from that install will not be elevated and therefore cannot change files in the application folder. --------------- Phil Wilson
