You have to add the extended attribute. You also have to link wixca.lib into your MSI. Example: <Directory Id="DB_FOLDER" Name="database">: <CreateFolder> <!-- In order to inherit permissions you must link "wixca.lib" into the msi and specify the attribute Extended="yes" --> <Permission User="Users" Extended="yes" GenericRead="yes" GenericWrite="yes" /> <File Id="Database" Name="example.mdb" Source="..\database\example.mdb" /> </CreateFolder> </Directory> For WiX version 3 the rules are different. If you are using WiX version 3 I would like to know how exactly you get this to work.
