can't create rbuilder.ini on Vista ulitmate in c:\windows\system32

rbuser

I have 10.09 and I can generate the reports. I consistantly get the
EFCreateError exception "can not create file
c:\windows\system32\RBuilder.ini'.

I'm using the ppReport component and calling the PrintReport method.

This just started happening, so there must have been a vista update that
locked this down. I'm running as "ADMINISTRATOR", but I don't run the app
with elevated privledges. If I do, then my program works fine.

Using D6, I'm not sure running elevating privledges is even possible within
the IDE.

Is there some way to redirect where this file is stored?

Thanks

Jim,


You can use the following code during your application startup to work
around this bug. Just make sure that you call it BEFORE you do anything in
RB and you should be good.

with TppDesigner.Create(nil) do begin
IniStorageName := ;
Free;
end;

What unit is TppDesigner in so that I can include it in my USES clause?

rbuser

Jim,


ppEndUsr is the unit you want to reference.

Thank you Terry. Apparently, that unit isn't included in the RBuilder
Standard, so I'll have to figure something else out.

there are some patch files for 10.09--send an email to support.

There is patch available for RB 10.09, please email
support@digital-metpahors.com and request the patch.

With the patch, no RBuilder.ini information is saved for applications that
do not use TppDesigner.

When using the TppDesigner in an application, you can use the
TppDesigner.IniStorageName and IniStorageType to control RBuilder.ini
