i’ve created an setup project for a .net-application which works fine. The problem is, that the application begins to write log-files after startup and this requires administrative rights on windows vista and windows 7. I know there are some folders which i could use to write into without administrative rights. When i start the application as administrator, everything works fine.

I asked myself, if it’s possible to change the setup project in visual studio in a way that the installed application automatically owns administrative rights on the target system?

Thanks for every help in advance!

    You don’t want to do this. If it needs rights to a particular directory, then create an account that has them (or modify the subdirectory’s rights so that anyone can access it). But don’t run as admin just for one feature. Also, look into whether there’s another directory you could be writing to, which you already have rights to.
