Making App Data UAC (Vista) safe - updated March 18 2009

http://profileexchanges.com/blog/?p=120

- Revised - March 18 2009

Overview - If you want to create a Clarion program that will work with
Vista approved methods, this introductory tutorial will provide basic
instructional examples you can use for reference and adapt to your needs.

This is a starting point (and practical example) to determine where (and
how) you need to store your app data files, install techniques, single
user, etc -

Multi-user and more involved setups are beyond the scope of a brief
introductory tutorial. Additional reference links are provided for more in
depth study of how to refine important details for your particular project.

The updated blog and text-CHM versions include better support for both C6
and C7 Global Embed placement.

At the blog web page you can - Download text only and CHM-Text versions of
the blog.

Expanded Tutorial Information - The text and CHM versions will contain most
of the updated and expanded tutorial information. Compare the revision date
in your previous copy of the text and/or CHM with the blog date for latest.

This information applies to four UAC aware Windows operating systems:
Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 (Windows
Server 7).

Note: These methods were tested and successfully accomplished specifically
using Clarion 6.3.9055 (EZChangeLog Reporter and Product Scope Version 7.6)
and the beta release of Clarion 7.0.5080 (using a simple Create Folders
only test program, AND included in the help file (CHM version) - global
embed code to use in the Phones.app example found in the Clarion 7 Lessons
folder) - however, the methods should apply to other Clarion versions as
well.

Minimally, you WILL need CapeSoft's WinEvent to use this code. Icetips
Utilities also offers some alternative methods to accomplish the same
thing. Both products are well featured, and are worth the investment to
accomplish this vital task.
