wierd problem... VISTA - virtualization problem...

[Vedam Shashank]

I am totally perplexed with this....

I am tryin to save a file (XML), using a certain save method from MSXML2::IXMLDOMDocument2.

It has worked well so far.(XP, Win2000, server,.....Vista too with Virtualization on)
Now in vista, with virtualization disabled, I am unable to save the same absolutely anywhere... except C:\Users\<User_Name>. This is the only location I am able to save the file.
I can't save the same under C drive... nor in another partion - D drive.... WOW....

I need to save the same under <%ALLUSERSPROFILE%> (Program Data in case of Vista).
(The version of msxml I am using is msxml2.dll)

any help would be great


EDIT:
Forgot to mention earlier.... the error code returned is... E_ACCESSDENIED (even while trying to create a new file).
Just a thought... Do I need to use a different version of msxml for vista??

Are you able to create a file in the same location using the shell ( explorer ) ? If that is the case, it would narrow down to a MSXML thing. Else I would rule that out.

Run command prompt and navigate to the parent folder of target folder you are interested in saving to and type
cacls foldername
What does it show ?

I was unable to post the same here - some formatting problem.... I have attached it as a text file.

It mentions... that Cacls is now deprecated & to use Icacls. So i have attached the output of both. I guess ICalcs should do. :-)

May I know what is Calcs/Icalcs used for ? What information it obtains?

Yes. From windows explorer i am able to create files & save.
