Vista Program Files Folder Problem – Issue 1

Hello,

I usually deploy a package composed, among others, by a mde file (Compiled

Access File). The installation process is done with a msi file. So far so

good! However, sometimes, I need to update my program several times a day

and, to be simpler, I deploy to clients an exe file that just replace the mde

file. This can break some windows installation rules, but that’s enough!

Now, I’m doing this in four computers with Vista. Two of them are ok. In the

other two, my exe file apparently replaces the mde, but when the final user

run’s it, he didn’t get the last version that goes inside the exe file. He

gets the same previous version.

I have given full control permissions to the folder c:\program files\my

program. I suspect from Windows Resource Protection, but I’m not sure and I

don’t know what to do or what to search for.
