Default Win7 VirtualStore Weirdness with Excel 2002 and earlier

Peter T explained on 5/26/2011 :

Peter T formulated on Thursday :
Note that with the release of Vista/Win7, all scripts were re-written to
establish access permissions for my projects (XLAs or VB6 EXEs) to be
able to write to their respective folders without being hampered by UAC.

I'd be very interested in that, Inno if pos :-)


I don't have an Inno nor a Wise script for this. I use a VB6.Exe that I
install temporarily to the install folder, run it, then delete the file.

You can read about and download sample VB code (Part1/Part2) at:

Yikes, but thanks!

You're welcome!
It takes a bit of time to execute so I display a progress dialog while
it's executing. Otherwise, you just need to break it down to the
essential permissions you want to set. (IRC, it demos more than
necessary for most our usage for addins) So far it has worked
flawlessly for me!
