Good Morning! I run XP on my dev box & Vista on my laptop.
I thought that when the Vista User Access control is enabled (I keep mine off) that it would not allow applications to be installed in the PF folder unless logged in as admin. Am I mistaken? I cannot assume that new users will have admin rights. Or should I specify that the user MUST have admin rights?

Something like getting the 'My > Documents' folder? In my opinion, the best thing to do is to let the user change the application folder during the installation. You would make the default folder something under Program Files, but let the user change the location. Then place your files in that folder and subfolders. If you are writing many apps what have some common DLLs or other files, you may want to use a Common Files folder, but that is more advanced.
