With regard to folders and comparing WinNT.h from SDK 7.1 and WiX v3.0 RTM, here are how the permission bits map into the directory-related constants (how they line up with or what they are named in the shell's security dialog inside the Property's wizard I'm not sure):
GENERIC_READ GenericRead GENERIC_WRITE GenericWrite GENERIC_EXECUTE GenericExecute GENERIC_ALL GenericAll DELETE Delete READ_CONTROL ReadPermission WRITE_DAC ChangePermission WRITE_OWNER TakeOwnership SYNCHRONIZE Synchronize STANDARD_RIGHTS_REQUIRED Delete + ReadPermission + ChangePermission + TakeOwnership STANDARD_RIGHTS_READ ReadPermission STANDARD_RIGHTS_WRITE ReadPermission STANDARD_RIGHTS_EXECUTE ReadPermission STANDARD_RIGHTS_ALL Delete + ReadPermission + ChangePermission + TakeOwnership + Synchronize FILE_LIST_DIRECTORY Read FILE_ADD_FILE CreateFile FILE_ADD_SUBDIRECTORY CreateChild FILE_READ_EA ReadExtendedAttributes FILE_WRITE_EA WriteExtendedAttributes FILE_TRAVERSE Traverse FILE_DELETE_CHILD DeleteChild FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES ReadAttributes FILE_WRITE_ATTRIBUTES WriteAttributes FILE_ALL_ACCESS Delete + ReadPermission + ChangePermission + TakeOwnership + Synchronize + Read + CreateFile + CreateChild + ReadExtendedAttributes + WriteExtendedAttributes + Traverse + DeleteChild + ReadAttributes + WriteAttributes I suppose based on this that at minimum you need Read="yes" and no others, but I really dont know how the shell's UI maps these permissions to their WinNT.h constants and it's been over a decade since I studied all the required combinations of these constants. You may need to do some experimentation. Also, having the WinNT.h constants may help with your internet search. BTW, http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/aa369774.aspx claims that setting GenericRead will fail, so I suppose we should all avoid that one. -----Original Message----- From: Denis Stankovski [mailto:denis.stankov...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, November 24, 2010 2:35 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Setting "List folder contents" permission on folder Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately it didn't work. I tried both and in both cases it sets checkbox next to "Special permissions" (Folder Properties > Security) and "List folder content" checkbox is unchecked.
