View Full Version : QDir fails in Vista

Hello everyone,

I built a program that needs to access and modify the program filesystem tree.
Now in order to achieve that I use QDir::mkdir().
Well in Windows Xp directories are made as expected, they aren't in Windows Vista instead!
No filesystem operation is allowed there! It behaves like a permission issue...

Do someone knows why that happens and (hopefully) how to work it around?
Thank you in advance

hmm run your program as an administrator. Where are you creating this directory?

Directory is "Users/<username>/Documents/programfolder/" where the program resides.
Running as administrator works, but is quite annoying... is there a way to avoid it?
