Author Application Directory Permissions

Hello all,

When my installer installs my app on the target machine, only users
with administrator rights can write to the data files in [Program
Files][AppDir]. Is this normal? Where is the standard location to
install the files so all users of the machine can have equal access to
the data files.

Thanks.

Ed;
I would suggest that you have your installer create a sub-dir
under C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\[your
sub-dir] and place the data files here

Thanks Scott,
I had to look for it but I finally found where I can set permissions on
the installed application directory.
