How should I open a file in the Program Files directory for read/write
access?
In Vista Business 32-bit as administrator with UAC turned on, the OpenFile
API call fails when trying to open a file for read/write in the Program
Files directory. The call is
OpenFile(FileName, &OpenBuff, OF_READWRITE);
returning HFILE_ERROR.
When accessing the file with Explorer, I can do anything I want with the
file.
Should I be using CreateFile with certain parameters instead of OpenFile?
