If you want to create a Clarion program that will work with UAC (Vista)
approved methods (and be XP compatible including non-admin user accounts),
this introductory tutorial will provide basic instructional examples you
can use for reference and adapt to your needs.
Almost immediately after I had edited the original * Clarion programs -
Making App Data UAC (Vista) safe and XP compatible * blog, and started to
make a CHM version, Charles Edmonds and I had discussions about a new
product his company (LANSRAD) might consider offering to the Clarion
community.
Of course, the original example was a starting point (and practical
example) to determine where (and how) you need to store your app data
files, install techniques, etc - It was a single user approach, and some of
the methods could be adapted for Multi-user use.
This updated example (included in downloadable Text/CHM version) includes a
multi user account approach, and of course, is just one of many
configurations - Clarion ProPath enables Clarion Developers to quickly
implement, and very creatively edit for a wide variety of purposes!

Included are some basic instructional examples you can use for reference
and adapt to your needs.
Note: These methods were tested and successfully accomplished specifically
using Clarion 6.3.9055 (EZChangeLog Reporter).
Product Scope 7.8 - is a commercially released product using Clarion
ProPath.

Minimally, you WILL need LANSRAD Clarion ProPath to accomplish the multi
user account approach presented in the CHM tutorial.
CapeSoftοΏ½s WinEvent is illustrated in the another help topic in the
combined Text/CHM version. Icetips Utilities also offers some alternative
methods to accomplish similar path setting functions. Both products are
well featured, and can be used for path setting functions, PLUS MANY other
tasks as well.
However, keep in mind, Clarion ProPath is a dedicated tool to set paths,
offering a variety of methods and configuration tools to quickly setup
projects.
Download combined text/CHM version for full beginning tutorial on practical
ProPath example and install techniques. PLUS - some expanded illustrative
screen shots to show relationship of UAC CSIDL locations and installer
methods - PLUS additional reference material and additional external
reference Install and UAC safe techniques URLs.
