Thanks Benjamin and Rob:
I did try that. I had an odd behavior. If I tried CreateFolder for windows\temp, all existing permissions were lost (meaning administrators, etc were removed from folder permissions). If I tried for some other folder, it worked as expected. Basically adds the permissions. I am more inclined to use icacls.exe and set the permission. Thanks for the replies though. Original questions was about permissioning c:\windows\temp. > Date: Sun, 25 Oct 2009 15:48:01 +0200 > From: benjamin.pods...@gmail.com > To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Folder permission question > > In other words, PermissionEx should work, imho. > > On Oct 25, 2009 7:17 AM, "Rob Mensching" <r...@robmensching.com> wrote: > > CreateFolder does not delete folders.
