VISTA question

Could someone please test.

If you name the exe setup.exe this program executes without an error but does not write the ini – file. The directory must be a network directory. If you rename it to test.exe all is working.

#INCLUDE "FiveWin.ch"

//-------------------------------------------------------------//

FUNCTION Main()

LOCAL cIniFile := "T:\xWHDATEN\ini\"+"\test.ini"

WritePProString( "PATH" , "OBJ" , "cObj" , cIniFile )

msginfo("End")

RETURN( NIL )

by reason of security, Vista will run setup.exe(Windows Install) first.

Hello Rochinha,
Windows security center asks if you allow to execute the program.
Also if I answer with yes the exe does not write to the ini-file.
This only happens if in the exe-file-name is “setup”.
My exe is called xWHSetup.exe.

But there is no warning that nothing is written nor an error.

Regards,
Otto

This problem may be related only to files named setup.ini or setup.inf, used by Windows for installations.

My recommendation is not to use this name in future.

I had this problem.
