Vista expects Applications in "Program Files" ?

Posted: 11-27-2006, 05:12 PM
Hi there,

1) Doas anybody knows about the restriction that Vista expects
applications to be installed to the "C:\Program Files" directory ???

I've read in a news paper article that if I install my application to
let's say "C:\myApp" that Windows Vista ignores it in conjunction
with WinQual?!

2) I'm not familier with WinQual, so second question here:
What is it ? (sorry to ask but the MSDN for WinQual is not accessable
these days)

3) What restrictions, beside the permission to write files, do I have
with the Program-Files folder. Are there disadvantages to install
outside the Program Files folder?

TIA
Mue :-)
