Hi L., It sounds like standard Windows 7 permissions. If you install files under Program Files they will not be editable by default. For example, did you use Notepad to edit the INI file? If so, try right-clicking on Notepad under the Start menu and selecting "Run as administrator" so that you are running Notepad with elevated privileges (just logging in as Administrator is not enough). Then use the File/Open menu item in Notepad to browse to the INI file, edit it, and save it. This time it should save. Note that you may have to change the filter in Notepad to All files (*.*) instead of the default Text documents (*.txt).
If you really want to change the permissions so that it can be edited by the user without elevated privileges, use the Permission child element (or PermissionEx). Alternatively, install to a user-editable location.

Hello, I just create my first installation package with wix :) In this package there is an application (.exe), a desktop shortcut and a .ini file for the configuration and some more that don't interest this thread. I have 2 strange behaviors once installed: 1) Right clicking the shortcut-> properties. The "Open file location" button is disabled. 2)The user needs to configure the program behavior editing the INI installed in the Program files folder. but , after editing, the Save operation failed with "access deny". I am on windows7 32. I have installed my software as administrator and trying to modify the INI file also as administrator. Someone can help me to figure out what's wrong?
