Read only error in sdf file after installing windows application setup

Question

I got a following error "Access to the database file is not allowed. [ File name = C:\\Program Files\\Default Company Name\\somedbfile.sdf ]" while trying to log on after installing it in windows 7. It worked if i manually remove read only property of sdf file but it is not a good for client. Could we do this pragmatically. Any help would be appreciable.

Thanks in advance. Tarun

Answer 1

the folders 'Program Files' or 'Program Files (x86)' are read only for the common users. if database file is in this folder , - change permission of this file to full control . or - change path of database file
