WinXP SP2 Runtime error 70 permission denied on application

[Guest]

We have an application which before ran fine under WinXP. With the advent of
SP2 install the application file now throws up a runtime error 70 permission
denied.
Of course the error is exactly what it means, but...
When setting the ACL or any type of permission for the groups everyone,
users, powerusers, to full read/write access on the root install folder I
still get the runtime error 70.
The only way to alleviate this problem is give the user admin privelages to
the local machine so that the app can run.
I have tried everything under the sun, but it seems that even after setting
permissions and allowing inheritance etc etc, I still have no luck. WinXP up
to SP2 allows me, Win2k allows me, why not WinXP SP2

WHY? and how to fix. Or at least point me in the right direction. The basic
setup is workstations WinXP SP2 with a variation of servers from win2k,
win2003, active directory roaming profiles, blah blah blah.
looking forward to comments

Maybe the application is trying to do something that is no longer
allowed; eg. write to a certain registry key.

I'd modify the application to display a message as soon as it starts.
Then, you know whether the error applies to the application starting,
or, to something that the application does after it has started.

HTH,

Dear Wired,

I have a similar problem. My database is located on WinXP SP2 (it is fine on
WInXP SP1). Error message shown is that the record can't be locked when my
application run via lan even if I have the full permission.

Do you have any idea.

What is the exact error message & what is the exact series of steps
that causes it to appear?
