2: Use relative paths and user-specific: The path might not be found by the folder on a code level or there might be some issue in the spelling. So, use the relative path to the current directory or in a reference of the root.

3: Use manifest files: Ensure your application has an appropriate manifest file that indicates whether elevation is required. You can use a requireAdministrator manifest to request elevation when the app is launched, but this should be used sparingly and only when necessary.
