I need to grant the account "Network Service" read access on this key. Currently I cannot find a way to solve this. Here are the things I have tried so far: 1. Using the WIX in-built tags <RegistryKey> and <Permission>, I am able to grant the account full permission, but it does come with a cost. It overwrites the key and thus erases all the sub keys and existing permission set. I deployed it multiple times and observed the same behavior. 2. I also tried a DOS command line "RegINI" which can be used to import a ".reg" file into the registry, but it has a pre-defined set of ACLs and cannot be used for individual accounts. Any pointers/solutions will be highly appreciated. Thank you Suryadeep ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beautiful is writing same markup.
