If you reference anything in a fragment then the entire fragment will be included in your installer.
So if you add a componentRef in your feature this fragment will be included. -----Original Message----- From: CoolBreeze [mailto:coolbreeze...@googlemail.com] Sent: 14 June 2011 14:20 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Help with giving permissions to folder Thanks for you help. I understand now. Can you tell what I might have missed to cause the ACL not to be set on the MachineKeys folder? Have I missed something in how I've configured this? I've added the following code to a separate Fragment file and my understanding is that this file will be pulled into the installer. I have not referenced the file anywhere. The full path to the MachineKeys folder is: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys <Fragment> <Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir"> <Directory Id="AppDataFolder"> <Directory Id="dir6A68E13632B544EDA8F393F83B23F439" Name="Microsoft"> <Directory Id="dir03FB174C3B8F4214AF6A130B8EAA7BA1" Name="Crypto"> <Directory Id="dirE956646E44EE4A23B07BD0A84D969F55" Name="RSA"> <Directory Id="dir9210B4F4F4A24357A3954AFC771C9E28" Name="MachineKeys"> <Component Id="MachineKeysFolderPermissions" Guid="352963FCB3794D8E9B9BE725929B5C47"> <CreateFolder> <util:PermissionEx User="NETWORK SERVICE" GenericAll="yes" ChangePermission="yes" /> </CreateFolder> </Component> </Directory> </Directory> </Directory> </Directory> </Directory> </Directory> </Fragment> Thanks again for your help.
