Updating application files under Vista

Subject:Updating application files under Vista

I'm writing a new application under Windows XP, and trying to make it Vista
compatible as I go along - ini files in the Application Data folder,
application under Program Files, etc.

This application is an in house product and will be undergoing many updates
over the next few months. I've set things up with a small stub program which
checks for updates on the server and copies any new versions over to the
client. I'm thinking that this won't be compatible with Vista as it requires
writing to the Program Files directory. How would I get around this, ideally
without changing UAC settings?

Thanks for any input.
