It is a great tool for creating ZIP archives in VB .NET 2008.\r<br />\n<br />\nI'm running into a small problem, and would like to see if any one has experienced anything similar.  Basically, everything works great in Windows XP.  However, for Vista, 7 and 8, where UAC (User Account Control) is enabled, this is where I am not able to create the zip archive.  I have an error saying that one of the files that I am trying to add to the archive cannot be accessed.  The file resides in the Windows non-protected area of C:\\ProgramData, so I assume that this would not be a problem.\r<br />\n<br />\nHas anyone seen this before?  And do you know that in order to use DotNetZip library, that the user running the app would have to be a local admin user or belonging to the local admin group of the PC?\r<br />\n<br />\nYour help is greatly appreciated.  Thank you and have a nice day.\r<br />\n<br />\nKhoi Nguyen.<br />\n",

    "Html": "Hi,\r<br />\n<br />\nHere is the process I'm trying to do.  I have a VB 2008 application, which connects to a SQL Server 2005 Express DB.  This VB app has a feature that allows the user to backup the database.  Database back up is nothing more than detaching the DB files, then make a copy of the DB files (.mdf, and .ldf), add the DB files to an archive (using DotNetZip), and lastly, re-attach the DB files again to the existing SQL Server instance.\r<br />\n<br />\nWhat I have discovered is that even though the DB files (before attaching to SQL Server 2005 Express) has &quot;Everyone&quot; - &quot;Full Control&quot; in the ACL.  After detaching it from SQL Server 2005 Express) the &quot;Everyone&quot; - &quot;Full Control&quot; has been removed from the ACL, thus, causing the ZIP process to crash, if I run the app as a Standard User in Windows 7 (with UAC enabled).  I have discovered a way to make this work, which is after detaching the DB files, I would manually update the files' ACL to include &quot;Everyone&quot; - &quot;Full Control&quot;; then ZIP works just fine under Standard User in Windows.\r<br />\n<br />\nSorry for the long description.  Hope it's not too confusing.\r<br />\n<br />\nThanks for the help.\r<br />\n<br />\nKhoi.<br />\n",
