Problem with the RO access of ini file under Win 7 within Program Files branch

[MimiKLM]

Hi,

I'm using Win7 and LV 8.6.1. Under the Program Files directory I have one folder where my exe is. That exe has to read the ini file first and later on do some work. It works fine unel local admin credentials. But since I switch to the ordinary user the exe doesn't work.

Question: When I'm obtainig the reference for the ini file usung the ordinary Open Config Data.vi do I obtain reference for RW or RO access? If it is RW then I have the explanation of the problem. If it is RO I have to search further.

The Program Files Directory is not writeable by normal users. If you are an Admin and you have UAC turned on, you would need to confirm the Admin Operation.

Save the .ini-Files in the right folders. (User-owned one, like Roaming in the App-Data Folder of your User Account).

Does it mean that the reference obtained by Open Config Data.vi is RW?
