R/O files for not admin users
First: I looked in the forum, but I found no hints.

I made a instrallation as admin, then I
changed (after installation) to a user with no admin rights. Now I tried the installed program, but in the \Windows directory I can't write to my .ini-File. I applayed SetFileAttributes NORMAL to the .ini-File in the installation script, the attribus are R/W, but it is not possible to write to the .ini-file. What can I do ?

Thank You for the help.

You need admin rights to access the Windows folder.

Hi Joost,

OK, as admin I can change the rights for a .ini-file in the Windows folder to R/W for all user (properties - security). How can I do this in the NSIS script ?
