WritePrivateProfileString

[Tremorblue]

Using WritePrivateProfileString to setup and ini file.

It can be used by users or administrator on a PC.

If the administrator uses it first then it locks the file out because of access rights.

If I check for fileExists I could write the file with access rights to all before calling WritePrivateProfileString.

My question if how could I create an empty file and give everyone access rights to use it ?

Here is an example of using streams to create a file.

    UnicodeStream LogFileUniStr = "C:\\Temp\\LogFile.txt";
    // Open streams
    std::wofstream FileOutStrm;
    ParcelCSVStrm.open(LogFileUniStr.c_str(), std::ios::app); // Open file for appending
    if (!LogFileStrm)
    {
        MessageDlg(L"I Cannot open log file for output!", mtError, TMsgDlgButtons() << mbOK, 0);
        FileOutStrm.close();
        return false;
    }
    //FileOutStrm << std::endl; // Not usually necessary
    FileOutStrm.close();

Usually, this creates the empty file. Access privilege are open to everyone in Windows unless you set up the folder differently.
