This isn't the same question I asked before... I'm asking why I am getting code 5 error when building to a {commonappdata} folder.
I have two inno scripts, the setup one installs an application for ALL users, and installs it as a startup application, so we require admin privileges. I set it to install to {commonappdata} (ProgramData) so that it will be the program for all users. This works fine.
Here is the INSTALL script: (Seemingly no issues)
; Script generated by the Inno Setup Script Wizard.
; SEE THE DOCUMENTATION FOR DETAILS ON CREATING INNO SETUP SCRIPT FILES!
#define MyAppName "xxxx"
#define MyAppVersion "xxxx"
#define MyAppPublisher "xxxxxxx"
#define MyAppURL "http://www.example.com/"
#define MyAppExeName "xxxxxx.exe"
[Setup]

Then the Update script gets downloaded by C# later (if there is a newer version) and the whole idea of it, is that it updates the {commonappdata} (programdata) path, so it updates for every user on the machine, and it does NOT need admin privileges to do so. While still maintaining it as a startup application.

My issue, is that when the update script runs, it gives me the error code: "An error occurred while tryin to replace the existing file: C:\ProgramData\APP NAME\FILE.EXE: DeleteFile failed; code 5. ACCESS IS DENIED.
Please help. I mean I know the problem is, is that I guess I cannot even access or change the ProgramData folder (when not installing) you need admin rights in that folder. But I dont know WHERE else to put it where I can accomplish an update (for every user) without needing admin privileges.
