Request Administrator Rights

Question

I have an error if I do not run my program "As an administrator" Access violation ... in the module ... etc.

An error occurred while trying to work with my ini file. How to avoid an error or make an administrator rights request.

(using C ++ Builder6, but Delphi code is also readable for me)

works with ini by default

TIniFile *FormCllient;
        FormCllient = new TIniFile(ExtractFilePath(Application->ExeName)+"Inf\\MyIniFile.ini");
...

Added:

It seems to me that I need to add rules for the folder after installing the application. I am doing the installation package with Inno Setup ... I hope this is real.

Any reasons to save your application configuration in the registry? I do not suggest you repeat the code that raised the question, just curious for my own future projects.
