I have an application in JAVA that connects to HSQLDB and need to be installed, i made that app and works fine, but when i put my code on the Programs and files folder, the HSQLDB cannot edit the lock property and cannot open the software =(
i know that is Windows security, but, is there a way to make the folder who contain my database editable?(c:programs and files\mySoftware\database) Like in PHP, using chmod…
Thanks!
You are using the wrong approach. Instead of making a folder editable, you need to put your files to application-specific folder under \Users\All users\AppData\yourapplication (in Windows 7) or \Users\Profilename\AppData\yourapplication folder. The path to this folder is obtained via Windows API (don’t know what Java offers in regards to Windows-specific API, sorry) function named SHGetFolderPath. You need CSIDL_APPDATA or CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA paths there.
