I run on the machine as admin, but with the UAC set to default mode.
I start an installation program (using "Run as administrator"). From the installation process (using Wix) I start a client program that creates some files on the disc (C:\ProgramData...).
var startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo()
{
WorkingDirectory = installLocation,
FileName = fullPath
};
Process.Start(startInfo);
This first time the program runs, I can access all the data stored on the local disc without problems.
If I close it and start it again, I receive this error message:
Access to the path 'C:\ProgramData...' is denied.
If I start again the application using "Run as administrator" I can access the files from local disc; no error this time. The access path error appears only when I start the application directly.
Is this due to the settings from UAC or it is related that the local files where created under a more privileged user account?
