I'm looking at how to set the owner of a registry key (or hierarchy of registry
keys) created by our installer.
At the moment they get created with an owner of "SYSTEM", and I need to set it
to the local admin account.
We're currently using something like this:
<RegistryKey Root="HKLM" Key="SOFTWARE\ANCA\options" Action="create" >
<util:PermissionEx User="[USERGROUP_USERS]" GenericAll="yes"
ChangePermission="yes"/>
</RegistryKey>
So, just for clarification, using the util:PermissionEx key doesn't actually
cause an action to occur, does it? It just sets a set of permissions for that
particular key. We also tried using TakeOwnership="yes", but that just allows
the user group specified the required permissions to take ownership, it doesn't
actually cause a transfer of ownership, right?
Is there a way to do this through WiX, or perhaps programmatically through a
custom action?
