Hello everyone,
I'm already finish, ...., but I have a little problem related to the
NTFS Permissions:
The normal permissions inside %program files% are: Administrators ->
FULL CONTROL ; Users -> Read
But when the application is executed as a normal user, it doesn't
work: Normal users NEED write access to the folder's program.
So, I think that the solution goes to giving NTFS to Everyone -> Full
control (as explained in:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/cjacks/archive/2008/12/04/how-to-set-directory-permissions-at-install-time-using-an-msi-created-using-windows-installer-xml-wix.aspx)
The question is: how to assign NTFS permissions with HEAT as a Harvest tool?
Is the following sentence true? "“The common user names ‘Everyone’
and ‘Administrators’ may be entered in English and are mapped to
well-known SIDs.” Or there will be localization problems when
installed in other languages?
Do you have some recommendations?
Thanks a lot for your time.
