InfoMaker typically writes to multiple files in the Program Files directory, including im.ini, IM110_sysam.properties, and code examples, tutorial, and demo database files. If an application is run without administrative privileges, Vista restricts it from writing to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE subtree in the registry, the Program Files directory, and the Windows directory. Instead, changes are written to a writable area in the registry and to the user’s local directory. This is referred to as virtualization.
For example, if you start InfoMaker without administrative privileges, the im.ini file is written to Program Files\Sybase\InfoMaker 11.0\im.ini in the C:\Users\<your_name>\AppData\VirtualStore directory.
To avoid the issues that would result from this behavior, on Vista, you must start InfoMaker 11.1 with administrative privileges by right clicking im110.exe in the Start menu or Explorer and selecting Run as administrator from its pop-up menu.
