On Windows, if my app needs to delete a file in the install location (eg. Program Files) does it need UAC? And if so, how do I do it silently?

    Attila Kovacs It's a file that is put by the installer and it is checked when the app launches. If it is found some things take place and the file is deleted. Anyway, I will move it to ProgrammData

    John Kouraklis There are indeed. Designing your program so that it doesn't attempt to delete files in protected folders is where I'd start.
