Windows 7 - Unable to copy my deployment files inside Programe Files

Asked By siddu Praneeth on 09-Feb-12 01:33 AM

Hi Experts,

I have .MSI file for my VB.NET application and it is successfully installing in all Windows XP machines with out any issue. But when I try to install the same installer in the win 7 then it is not copying the deployment files in the c:\programe Files/Apppln folder. It is copying in the C: drive it self. Hence application is not working. If the files are manually places from C: to C:\Programme Files\XP then it is working.

Why my deployment files are unable to copy C:\Programme Files\Appl folder eventhough I am adminstrator?
this is the problem I am facing with the Win7 machines.

Please Help me how to resolve this.

In window 7 we may have two program files folder

1.Program files
2.Program Files (x86)

and when we create setup it will installed in either of this two folders

and don't jst copy paste the files which are installed. if you want the copy then copy it from the bin\Debug folder with the database file or just you can create the setup file again and install in the windows 7
