如何在Windows 10 UWP上的工作文件夹中创建文件

Question

We have a Universal Windows 10 Platform (UWP) application containing an unmodifiable C library which creates web files in its working folder. These web files are then loaded by the WebView object for display. This architecture is working fine on other platforms, but it fails on UWP due to a lack of write access to the working folder. Apparently in a UWP app the working folder has special ACL protections which prevent creating files. Is there a way to create a UWP app which is permitted to create new files in its own working folder?

Note, we have tried using a different folder but in those cases the WebView object either will not load a file at all or does not load associated xsl, css, etc files. Very frustrating.

Cheers, Bill :-)

Answer 1

There is no way to write to the installation folder. This is by design to ensure seamless differential updates and clean uninstall of apps.

Have you tried setting the current working directory (to local appdata for example) before using the component?
