I have created a Windows application and created setup for it and then installed on Windows 7.

In this setup the .mdf SQL Server database file become read only when the installer has installed in target machine. So when I have started the application it was able to read the file but not able to modify/ add data in Windows 7 environment but when I have the same application installed on Windows XP, it is working perfectly. The installer has installed same copy of file as it is not become read only.

So kindly provide me information how I can create setup for WindowS 7 OS for .mdf file.

did you use **Advanced Installer** to generate the setup file ? if so, you can add full control on database files. – Essam Fahmi Aug 17 '17 at 19:10
