    <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1311218/wix-application-installed-can-only-work-when-runas-administrator-in-windows7">This existing question on SO</a> is probably exactly what I need, but it wasn't answered. ;)</p> <p>I hadn't realized this in my initial testing of my WiX installer, but my application doesn't work properly on Windows 7 after it's been installed. Various assemblies need to read/write files in my installation folder, but access is denied at runtime.</p> <p>If I then run the application as an administrator, it works perfectly. I can also change the properties of the application manually so that it always runs as an administrator. However, I don't want the user to have to click Yes to the UAC prompt every time.</p> <p>The part I don't get is that if I run my executable from my source code folder, I don't have to run it as an administrator and it works perfectly.</p> <p>Can anyone explain why: 1. My executable, when run from my bin/Debug folder, doesn't need to be run as an administrator and works? 2. How I can get WiX to install the executable so it works exactly the same way? (i.e. doesn't require right-click + Run as Administrator)</p> <p>Thanks!</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
