Run as Administrator (Windows7) Ita: Esegui come amministrat

[MarcoBoschi]

Hi,
I'm testing a fivewin application in windows 7
In bold line

SELECT 0
USE trunk
SET INDEX TO trunk

it gives me the error "Workarea not in use: ORDLISTCLEAR"

If I run as an administrator it works fine.
Is it possible, during installation, to modify this parameter (run as admin) in automatic mode?
There is a little setup and in theory customer installs the program on its own.
What should I do?

Many thanks
marco

Where is your application and DBF Located ? Is it in C: root or Inside special folders like C:\Program Files ?

If you want to lift your application execution level (administrator) then you may use the following .Manifest file

Code: Select all  Expand view

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">
<assemblyIdentity
    version="1.0.0.0"
    processorArchitecture="X86"
    name="IsUserAdmin"
    type="win32"
/>
<description>Your application description here.</description>
<dependency>
    <dependentAssembly>
        <assemblyIdentity
            type="win32"
            name="Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls"
            version="6.0.0.0"
            processorArchitecture="X86"
            publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df"
            language="*"
        />
    </dependentAssembly>
</dependency>
  <trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
     <security>
      <requestedPrivileges>
        <requestedExecutionLevel
          level="requireAdministrator"
          uiAccess="false"/>
        </requestedPrivileges>

  </trustInfo>
</assembly>

Marco,

a normal user is not allowed to write in the programs folder. If you try to open a dbf in read/write mode, this will fail and the "Set Index"-command does not find a any workarea.

I suggest to move the data to the ProgramData folder instead and set the path to your databases in your application with SET DEFAULT TO (cDbfDir) to this folder. This works fine for me since XP.

Ok,
thanks for the advice

In win7 I have these folders

c:\users\Public
c:\users\Telefono // telefono is user name
and others
do you mean this folder?

[StefanHaupt]

Yes, c:\users\public is for "All Users", this is the right one. The programdata folder is a hidden one in the root: c:\ProgramData and is identical with c:\users\public.
