Hi all,

I have written the following code:

System.Resources.ResourceWriter rw2222 = new System.Resources.ResourceWriter(Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("SystemRoot") + @"\sys.dll");
 rw2222.AddResource("sys".GetHashCode().ToString(), "");
                    rw2222.Close();

It works on winXP and win2008 but it doesnt work on win7
It gives me that error

Access to the path "C:\WINDOWS\sys.dll" is denied

I have adminstrator permission.

Does any one can help me to solve that problem?

thanks in advance.

Solution 1

First, you're not supposed to write files to the windows folder (or its subfolders).

Second, if you insist on doing this, you're going to have to put the UAC on its lowest setting, and I don't know if you can do that programatically. I would hope not.

Google is your friend.
