Description
Unable to write to C:\Program Files\CodeGear\RAD Studio\5.0\bin\xmldbwizard.ini.

RDS 2007 Pro on Windows Vista Ultimate (Normal user)

The XML Data Binding Wizard breaks Vista compatibility by trying to write to an .ini file under \Program Files\CodeGear\RAD Studio\5.0\bin\, where as it should have been using a file location belonging to current user.
Steps to Reproduce:
In RDS, Start a new VCL Application, do File New, Other, select XML Binding Wizard.  Exception appears immediately when wizard is opened.^

Side-effect: If you choose to continue - you end up at second page of the wizard, and going back to first page and selecting a file causes another exception, somehow causing the XML analyzer to fail and the wizard will protest and say the XML file is invalid, even if file is correct.
Workarounds
You can manually create a user writable C:\Program Files\CodeGear\RAD Studio\5.0\bin\xmldbwizard.ini, but this is contrary to recommended application behaviour for Vista.
