LocalDB deploy issue

Hello

Working on a VB.NET project with SQL LocalDB I'm having the next problem:

When deployng on a client machine (Windows 7), my application tries to Create a DB on disk but it got ERROR 5 (Access denied) ... (It seems SQLLocalDB does not have write permissions on disk)

It suppose I have not chance to manipulate that machine. I just send a SETUP that contains the program and SQLLocalDB as prerequisite.

How can I solve this issue from code since I cannot access to client machine?

Thanks.

Where are you trying to create the db? Remember program files is protected on Vista and later OSs so you will not have write access if you try to put your db there.

Yes, I was trying to Create DB inside of Program Files.

Thanks !!!

You're going to have to have permission to make changes to the file / folder structure, as DM mentioned. Not sure if you can do it programmatically. Even if you could, I'd advise against it.
