We are creating an installer for our application which we of course
anticipate will be installed under Vista (more and more as Vista
becomes more commonly used). One thing this installer does is set the
attributes of the files "autotexec.nt" and "config.nt" to READ-ONLY
(BTW, in Vista, these files are located in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32).
There is something peculiar about our app which is why, under XP, we
had the installer "protect" these files by setting them to READ-ONLY.
My question is, does anyone see any problem in setting these same
files to READ-ONLY under Windows Vista? We had no customer complaints
after thousands of installations under XP. But maybe Vista, at some
point, changes these files (ie. "autotexec.nt" and "config.nt") for
whatever reason and, if we set them to READ-ONLY, Vista wouldn't be
able to change them.
Thanks for any insight.
