I have a program developed for Windows XP, but when I try to install it in Windows Vista, I get an error message saying that the SQL database (sqlite3) is read only. Is that due to a feature in Windows Vista?

Normal Users in Vista only get the Read permissions to files in the Program Files directory
The msi installer in Vista runs as a user with higher permissions that allows it to write the files.
You’ll need to either Run the program as administrator or adjust the permissions of the files it needs to write to.
