I made an Excel addin which has been distributed to a lot of people in the company. It handles data and all creations and modifications are logged in a text file named with dll extension saved in System32 folder. The log data are returned copying the dll content in a text file in temp folder and opened in Excel. So, any modification of the Excel file does not affect the log file.
Now the company switches to Windows 7 OS and I can not programmatically write in System32 any more. I receive the message "Path/file access error". I could find another approach but there are a lot of addins to be modified and administrator accepted to give to the specific users the necessary permissions. I tried to solve the problem on my computer but even I have administrative full rights I can only create a folder not a file. I have the Ownership of Windows folder but still I can not create there a file.
Any help on the issue would be much appreciated.
But I would like a solution for writing in System32 not for path changing...
Thanks in advance!
