I have created a windows service, that use as a reminder service.

I have created it to study How windows service is created in c#?

In this service I use one xml file to keep record of reminders and this xml file get installed when service is installled.

This service is work on win xp very well.

But when I installed it on VISTA or WINDOWS 7, I cant edit the xml file because of permission setting.

so can any one tell me how to change that permission while installation.

Alternatively, you can store your XML file in location that will not request administrative privileges to write in it.
This[^] MSDN article could give you an idea where to store your file.
