Permission denied on apps javascript folder

Question

I need to distribute an application that generates a folder-level script for writing to an XFA form. I want to store the script at the app level.
app.getpath("app","JavaScript") returns this folder (on my machine, but some of the other users have later versions): C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\JavaScripts
The problem is that when I try to save the script I get a "Permission Denied" error.
Is there a way to overcome that without resorting to the user javascript folder?

Well, we made the change with Acrobat X, IIRC.   I honestly don’t remember whether there were complaints.  But most app-level scripts don’t get installed using the method that you are – they get installed once via a standard software installation tool (which will create the folder if missing)
But this is a User-level script. I'm not even sure how I could check for the folder's presence without knowing what the USERNAME is.
For example, this is the javascripts path on my laptop: \Users\Darrell\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\9.0\JavaScripts.
How would I know if the javascripts folder should be under the USERNAME "Darrell"? There may be multiple User folders, and they may not be the same as the Windows login.
