RE: folder virtualisation

Hi jeffrey


your given link do not work.

i creaded a folder under appdata and also a service just to save read write
data

within that folder.

Is it ok?

also from that service i open a tcp connection to listen from other computer
client program.
is it ok in vista? (service hardening ...)

also i use name pipe to comminicate with my user interface.
is it ok?

and i have auto update feature and my application download any new version
from net and save it in appdata folder and rename the running process and
rename the downloaded file as application name so after restart new version
should run.
is that approach is ok?

i am installing in appdata folder rather than in programme files to overcome
permission problem.

if you can kindly answer my question i will be greatfull.

thanks

Hi Ashnah,

This is a frequently asked question while working under Non-Admin account.
Normally, there are 2 solutions, lowing the security setting of your data
directory or coding a high privilege process for writing to the protected
data directory, see my original replies in the 2 threads below for details:

Actually, I highly recommend coding a separate high privilege process,
since it is the design employed by various Microsoft products. By lowing
the DACL security setting of your directory, you throws away the gift of
Vista security model.

Hope this helps.
