Hi all,

Got a problem regarding auto-updating an application.

We've got an app which implements the MS AppUpdater application block,
however although this all works fine when logged in as an administrator -
when running the app and trying to update with a latter version from a web
server (note: the app is installed under the "Program Files" folder) - an
exception is thrown as the normal user doesn't have permission to modify /
create files in the apps directory. How do you get round this? Obviously
you can't only allow admins to pick up updates.

I hope that makes sense, all pointers would be v helpful.

TIA
Sam Martin
 
I'm also having the same problem. Has anyone come up with some kind of
solution or security policy that needs to be setup to allow you to do
this? We are trying to autoupdate a user who has been setup as a
standard user.

Thanks
Prem
