Take the tour ×  I have a 'legacy' XP application which writes
files in the [ProgramFiles]\[Application] folder, and writes
registry keys in the HKLM\Software\[Application] path. When
running the application in Windows Vista or Windows 7, the files
and registry entries are written in the Virtual Store instead.
That's fine; it doesn't break anything, yet.  Now, we've re-
written the application in .NET. It only reads and writes files
in "safe," user-scoped locations, and we use an application
manifest with requestedExecutionLevel specified, in order to
disable registry virtualization.  When users upgrade to the
latest version, we would like to maintain compatibility with our
old application, by importing settings from the previously-
virtualized files and registry settings.  So, the question: Is
there a way to access the files and registry keys in the Virtual
Store from an application that has requestedExecutionLevel
specified in its manifest?  share|improve this question
Obviously one option is to write a migra
