Hi,

I'm currently develop the security application on Vista platform.

i need to replace advapi32.dll in Vista Ultimate 32 bit, with administrator access right.

But when I try to replace the file, i got the error.

Destination Folder Access Denied
- You need permission to perform this action.

ANy idea?

Take ownership of the windows folder? Just right click it and go to options then ownership. (I think, not at my Vista machine at the moment so can't check :S)

You can try this:

1, Click Start > All Programs > Accessories > Right-Click Command Prompt > Select Run as administrator

2. At Command Prompt Type takeown /f C:\sample\sample

Note: Replace the word sample with the correct path of DLL you’re trying to over-write. To get the full path, simply go to the file, press the shift key, right-click the file and select Copy path.

3. Hit Enter

4. Once you receive message that the process was completed successfully, type: icacls C:\sample\sample /grant user:F

Again, substitute the above path with that of the file you are trying to over-write and the word user with your own user name

5. Press Enter

If this doesn’t work, try running process through safe mode.
