I install my database.gdb file to the CommonAppData folder, on Vista
this is

C:\ProgramData\MyCompany\MyApp\database.gdb

When I start my app I experience the following exception. Where on
Vista should I install my DB? I really need all users to share the
same DB. Note that I have the embeddedfb dll in my app folder so that
all DB access is local and no DB server is required.

How do I solve this? My restrictions are
01: I can't install a DB server (it's a single user app)
02: The file must be in a shared location so that multiple users can
install the app and use the same database.


Thanks


Pete
