Permissions to access paradox db file under Windows Server 2008 x 64

Question

I need to connect to Paradox db file under Windows Server 2008 x 64.

For this I wrote a .NET console application(32bit) with using ODBC. This applications works only under admins rights (UAC).

But without that it throws exception:

ERROR [HY000] [Microsoft][ODBC Paradox Driver] Reserved error (-5016); there is no message for this error.
ERROR [IM006] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed
ERROR [HY000] [Microsoft][ODBC Paradox Driver] Reserved error (-5016); there is no message for this error.

So I'm trying to figure wich permissions should to give.

Giving All Permissions to Everyone under applications' folder, under databasefolder, under registry folder HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC as described here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/295297, under odbc* files in %WINDIR%\System32 does not help.

Ah, also I tried to change provider to OLE DB (Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0) - got the same issue with rights(with using UAC all fine)

Unexpected error from external database driver (11265).

Any Suggestions ?

Answer 1

After All I decided to use UAC rights.

It's only possible to grunt permissions to an application if it runs under sheduler (you check the ‘Run with highest privileges’ option when you are creating task).

As my program initialy should run under sheluder - the problem solved.
