I've read all related topics and haven't found a full answer to my problem.
I would like to give full permissions to SYSTEM and Read & Execute
permissions to Users group to a folder under Program Files. Nothing more,
nothing less.
I know there are 3 ways to give permissions to a folder using WIX, none of
them are really good for me and I'll explain why:
1) Regular Permission element:
<CreateFolder Directory="Test">
<Permission User="SYSTEM" GenericAll="yes"/>
<Permission User="Users" Domain="[LOCAL_MACHINE_NAME]"
GenericRead="yes" Read="yes" GenericExecute="yes" ChangePermission="yes"/>
</CreateFolder>
Problem: It fails on foreign OS since it doesn't knows the "Users" keyword.
I tried it with SID as well. Beside that I need to place the Permission
element under each file in the Test directory (but if this was the only
case, I would have managed)
2) WixUtilsExtension PermissionEx element:
<CreateFolder Directory="Test">
<util:PermissionEx User="SYSTEM" GenericAll="yes"/>
<util:PermissionEx User="Users" Domain="[LOCAL_MACHINE_NAME]"
GenericRead="yes" Read="yes" GenericExecute="yes" ChangePermission="yes"/>
</CreateFolder>
Problem: The folder also keeps the default permissions of the Program Files
folder. I can not allow that.
3) PermissionEx with Sddl:
Problem: This element is only available when installing with MSI 5.0. I'm
using installer 3.01.
I'll be happy to get any solution, including solutions with custom
actions...
