The directory you specify in CreateFolder/@Directory must be an existing
Directory Id but that's missing from the second code sample. I'd write it
something like this:
<Directory Id="CommonAppDataFolder">
<Directory Id="INSTALLDIRDATA" Name="AppName" >
<Component Id="InstallDirDataPermissions" Guid="..." KeyPath="yes">
<CreateFolder>
<util:PermissionEx User="Everyone" GenericAll="yes" />
</CreateFolder>
</Component>
<Directory Id="ConfigFolder" Name ="Config">
<Directory Id="specialConfigFolder" Name="Special">
<Component Id="specialConfigFolder" Guid="..." KeyPath="yes">
<CreateFolder />
</Component>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
I believe the permissions are inherited by default.

Subject: [WiX-users] [SPAM] How to create a subfolder in a folder created
by"CreateFolder"?
Hello!
My directory structure is:
<Directory Id="CommonAppDataFolder">
<Directory Id="INSTALLDIRDATA" Name="AppName" >
<Directory Id="ConfigFolder" Name ="Config">
<Directory Id="specialConfigFolder" Name="Special" />
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
Now I need Permissions for the "INSTALLDIRDATA" folder and all subfolders.
I read about "<util:PermissionEx User="Everyone" GenericAll="yes" />" and
"<CreateFolder>". "<CreateFolder>" can only be used in a component.
So my new structure is:
<Directory Id="CommonAppDataFolder">
<Component Id="comp_AppFolder" ...>
<CreateFolder Directory="AppName">
<util:PermissionEx User="Everyone" GenericAll="yes" />
</CreateFolder>
</Component>
</Directory>
Now my 2 Questions:
1. How can I create my Subfolders ("Config" and "Config\Special")?
2. Will the permission be set to all subfolders and files of "AppName" (I
used "PermissionEx")?
Thanks in advance!
