Directory permission for embedded Derby DB in a java app

[dkeefe]

This is a very frustrating issue. I created a java app with an embedded Derby DB for WIndows Vista. I have no issues when bringing up the App via Netbeans.

HOWEVER, after I created an installation package and installed it, the Derby DB can not open the *.lck file. As a result it is opened in a Read-Only mode, i.e. I can not insert data into the DB.

I am sure that this is a permission problem related to directory perm as it relates to WIndows.

I think I have to set permissions when I open the java App but am not sure of the steps as I am not that familiar with WIndows. Again I have no problems when I run the App from NetBeans. I also do not have problems if I bring up the run command and cd into the App home directory and run the command > java -jar MyApp.jar
