The question I asked about modifying the registry and path information made me think some more about what type of system modifications CoApp packages should be allowed to do. Here are a few I can think of (they pretty much come from the Wix schemas and the relevant elements are in included in parens):
-Ability to search for applications on the system that aren't controlled by CoApp (AppSearch) -Moving, Copying and Removing files and folders on the system (CopyFile, MoveFile, CreateFolder, etc.) -Making sure certain files are on the system (IniSearch, FileSearch) -- I don't see why we should have this -Adding MIME types to the system (MIME) -Add Services (InstallService) -Edit ACLs on files and registry entries (Permission) -Register type liibraries (TypeLib) -Modifications to the firewall (FilewallException,RemoteAddress) -Registering game in the Game Explorer (Game) -Adding users (User) There are some more related to IIS, MSMQ and COM+ but these seemed to be the most relevant.
