The <Permission> element references user accounts by
name. It's fine to reference a user you're creating under a component because
the ConfigureUsers custom action (which schedules the CreateUser action) is
scheduled before the InstallFiles action and therefore the user should be
created before any files are installed and the permissions
set.
(ConfigureUsers is referenced by the compiler in
ParseUserElement in src\wix\Compiler.cs, and is defined in
src\ca\serverca\scawixlib\sca.wxs. The actual function is implemented in
src\ca\scasched\scasched.cpp.)
If you need to create the user from multiple features which
might be selected independently of each other, you should include the component
which creates the user in all features. It should be OK (I think) to have the
component only create the user and not contain any files. It does mean
that the key path of the component will be the <Directory> that it's
contained in.

user and set permissions for this user on multiple directories. I know
that I can create the user as follows: <Component
Id="AppServerComponentCreateUsers" DiskId="1"
Guid="CEEF3186-A2AF-4363-BBE0-42472A221001"> <User
Id='MyUserID' Name='MyUser' Password='password' FailIfExists='no'
CreateUser='yes' PasswordExpired='no' PasswordNeverExpires='yes'
RemoveOnUninstall='no' UpdateIfExists='no'>
<GroupRef Id='MyUserGroup'
/>
</User> </Component> However, this component exists under
a specific directory element. I need to set permissions for this new user
for several directories. How do I do this? __________ Doug
