UAC blocking my files and services
Hi,
I installed a products I created using Installshiled 2008, on Windows 7 and the installation finished succesfully.
when I'm trying to execute a command, it's not recognized by the command line altough i added the correct path to the PATH variable.
when i try to enter the directory manualy i get an UAC prompt telling me i don't have enough privileges altough i'm administrator. when i click continue everything is back to normal and working.
my question is, How can I prevent this thing from happening?
I don't want that my users will have to go to each directory and be prompted for privileges.
I tried to install Skyped and it's work with no UAC problems.
Thanks in advanced,
Gidi.

You will have to give full rights to the directory for the installing user.
Use icacls for the same.

Sounds more like your application needs to be manifested to only require Invoker. This shouldn't have anything to do with ACLs on the [INSTALLDIR].
