I have an application that records a video from webcam and than stores that video in specified folder in .avi format. In my application it is working perfectly alright but when i created the setup and install it, it is not saving the video in the specified directory(by default the directory is in users folder, appdata/roaming/appname/). How can i get rid out of this???? Can any one help me out? Thanks in advance...

I think you are saying that your program runs fine and does what you want when you are developing it but does not when you install it on a user machine.

There are a lot of possibilities here but here are a few thoughts:
- Your installer (and/or your program) needs to create the ...%user%/appdata/roaming/appname and make sure it has the correct permissions.
- File protection problem in another directory that you (incorrectly) think is the output directory. You would need to add debug/log/trace features to the installed version.
- Does your program require administrator access? The installer on the target machine may need admin rights. Running the program on the target machine may need admin rights.
