Hello Experts,<br />
<br />
I have a setup projects that installs a winForms applications on the users machine. The user has an option to save some defaults in the .config file for the application, but when they try it throws &quot;Access to the path is denied.&quot; When I look the folder is &quot;Read&quot;. &nbsp;I can change this manually, but that still doesn't fix the issue. How can I assign the appropriate permissions during my installation to let user update the .config file?
