[AccessD] Access 2007 SageKey Scripts On Vista Problems

Hello Robert,

I do not have the 2007 scripts but do have the new scripts that do the same
thing when we install our 2002 app on Vista machines.  The setup seems to be
working OK on several vista machines.  These installations are done by folks
who know nothing more about installing a program than putting the CD in the
drive and following instructions. It took longer than I thought to move my
original Sagekey install over to the new Vista compatible scripts because,
as I recollect, it installs the app on Vista in a different location than on
previous versions of Windows.  In our previous scripts I set the directory
location explicitly. The location required for Vista gives all users rights
to run the program, so you have to follow the example script closely when
building yours. I have found that the tech support at Sagekey is great if
you can articulate your issue via email to their tech support site. It may
take a day to get a response, but we have worked through all my issues. 

Doug

Subject: [AccessD] Access 2007 SageKey Scripts On Vista Problems

Hello All,
 Is there anyone here that is using the A07 SageKey scripts on Vista
successfully? 


I have used their A2000 and A2002 scripts with acceptable results, but I'm
having major problems with A2007 scripts. 

OS Vista (Updated)
A07 Runtime (latest Version)


SageKey's web site say's: 

"Installations built using our tools will automatically be able to run
macros without displaying any security warnings. You will also be able to
add additional folders as trusted locations with our tools"

In the scripts they also say:

 "At the end of the install, the Sagekey scripts will open up permissions on
MAINDIR to give all Users Full Control.  This is done to ensure that
regardless of where the end user chooses to install the application, it will
run properly."


But it appears that this is not happening. This is what is happening:

1) Installation processes correctly (As Administrator)
2) User logs in to my Application (.mde) and is confronted by a security
warning. 
3) If the user selects continue, the user is then confronted by my
re-linking code. The problem is, it *appears* that the folder(s) created by
the SageKey scripts are {Read Only}, and the permissions for the folder are
not set to full control.
4) This causes the re-linking code to fail, and my shuts down.

If I modify my root directory (located under the ProgramData dir) G.B.S.
(un-tick Read Only) and set permissions to full control all (with the
exception of the security msg) loads fine.

Steve, from SageKey, has address some small minor issues, but interestingly
enough not these, which are in my view major problems.


Any Idea's ???
