We are using Installshield X to package one of our product.The product gets installed in all the platform and works fine, but when product was deployed in vista machine, we are facing one problem, that is the exe of the product when launched should create the logs, but due to security problem of the vista the logs are not getting generated.
The application is deployed in Program Files\X folder. The problem is that the vista machine takes program files as system files, which does not allow the exe to generate the logs as it does not have the sufficient permissions.

Can we give permission to the file programmatically, so that it can generate logs.
Just for the vista support we cannot migrate to other installsheild version also.
please help us

Thanks in advance

Regards,
Geetha

The betetr solution is to store the logfile elsewhere, in a directory where the user has write access.
