Basically I pack the db file in the installer as a content file, and the application reads and writes to this file. So how do you suggest I package this in the installer, so that its not restricted to admin permission Below is the properties for this content file Dependies -none exclude - false excludefilter- none FOlder - application folder hidden - true keyOutput - none outputs - outputs packageAs - vsdpaDefault permanent - false readonly- false register - vsdrpDoNotRegister SharedLegacy - false System - true Transitive - false vital - true I have used the "setup project" project type from VS Profession 2019 package Also one thing I would like to point out is that the application runs normally in OS build - 19042.1237, but is asking for administrator permission in 19042.1288 +
