Thanks Blair!
Yes, the util:PermissionEx works fine. And to my surprise, it works on my
Vista machine with WI4.0 as well. (I've changed the account to "NT
Authority\LocalService" for ServiceInstall, but the folder PermissionEx
still use "NT Service\AtlGateway")
I thought it might fail because
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/aa369774.aspx from here I see
Windows Installer versions earlier than Windows Installer 5.0 ignore the
MsiLockPermissionsEx Table. Windows Installer 5.0 can install an package
that contains the LockPermissions Table.
I guess the util:PermissionEx will put the permissions to
MsiLockPermissionsEx table if it is WI5.0, but still put them to
LockPermissions table if is earlier than WI5.0?
Another question about permission:
Seems the installer added more permissions than I required.
In my code, I only add permissions for
<util:PermissionEx GenericAll="yes" User="Administrator" />
<util:PermissionEx GenericAll="yes" User="CREATOR OWNER" />
<util:PermissionEx CreateChild="yes" User="Authenticated
Users" />
<util:PermissionEx GenericAll="yes" User="NT
Service\AtlGateway" />
But the result is: it also adds some special permissions for TrustInstaller,
SYSTEM, Administrators and Users. These permissions are inhereted from
c:\Program Files.
If I use Permission, not the util:PermissionEx, these extra permissions
won't be added.
Is this the by design behavior of PermissionEx. What should I do to avoid
this?
Thanks,
-Elfe
