Hi,

In this situation i would not advise to save the files to the native file system.

In general your answer is correct to try to store temporary or logging files tothe native system as it prevents the sandbox from exploding due to continiously growing disk space usage. For example having 25 MB of temp files for 1000 users is quite some space. Especially if this is for 100+ apps. Cleaning a single TEMP-folder in the profile is simpler than cleaning 100 sandboxes temp folder, for 100 applications... And there are common tools for doing that.

In this case however the logging is stored to the program files folder, which is protected (read only) for normal user accounts (non local admin) on vista and win7. So the application could throw errors to the user when saving the files there or the user must have specific permissions (which is not advised to be able to simply deploy the app).

It would be best to redirect the logging either to a networkdrive or a personal (profile) folder like %appdata%/enteryourpathhere... If possible of course.

And make sure that folder is in merged mode like Cievo stated...
