Using the prebuilt dialogs for deploying the DDT package file. By the time the user goes to run this, everything is installed in the Program File (86) folder structure. When selecting the package file am getting "File Access Denied". Running on Windows 8.1.

How do I get past this? The prebuilt dialogs do not give me access to the source code that actually opens the package file.

Hi Ross,

That is an issue with Windows 8.x in general.  Make sure your application's shortcut is configure to run as "Administrator" or better yet, do not install your application under "Program Files (x)" folder, instead create your own folders under the C: drive something like "C:\MyCompanyNameFolder\MyWonderfulApplicationFolder\" which is what I have been doing for many years and never had any of the issues you are having with the current DDT deploying dialogs and classes.

Run as administrator took care of that. But getting this error :

I checked and all the DLLs in the same folder with the executable. Do you know what the error indicates I may be missing?

Hi Ross,

Another thing I do is to install all my application's dlls in the same folder as the application instead of the GAC, I have seen issues with my applications to start giving errors if a prior version of the SF assemblies are in the GAC, so look again in the GAC folder and remove any SF assemblies that may have been there.

Yes, deploying the 'MicroFour StrataFrame Lzma" dll's fixed the issue. Thanks.
