I used installShield LE 2015 to build my application's installer and is successful. The problem am having now is that there's a Ms access db file in the installation location which i need to restore from the main application, but when i try to restore it, i get an error "Access to the path "C:\Program Files (x86)\RC record system\RecordSystemDb.accdb" is denied. Please someone should tell me how to resolve this issue.

  • either include the database into the installer or run the installer with admin rights. – Software Dev Dec 19 '18 at 07:12

  • C:\Program Files is protected by UAC. Apps can read but not write files in any of its subdirectories unless they run elevated. So it is very bad place to store a database. Use AppData instead. And do consider giving the user the option to put it on a well backed-up file server, loss of customer data is almost always disastrous. – Hans Passant Dec 19 '18 at 09:17
