Archive: storing configuration data


storing configuration data
Hi,

I want to create an installer for a "service" based application. This service need to store configuration information. This configuration information has to be secure, no one else should be able to access it (This is stored in an encrypted folder). Now I am creating a new user for the service (from NSIS), the service runs in this users context. Now my program stores the configuration information in the "Program files\myapp" folder. But when trying to access it, it gives permission denied. So which is the best place to store the configuration information. This configuration information requires magebytes of space.

Thanks,
Lloyd
