InstallAware

I've managed to create my first MSI installer to a Win2003 server fine. Small criticism is that not as easy as Setup Factory but then it can't create MSI files!

I set permissions (after APPLY INSTALL) for one specific file to 'write' using an existing security group but was surprised to see the system gave FULL CONTROL, rather than just write permissions as the dialog box would suggest.

Is there anyway within IA 6 to give the file just write (not modify or anything else other than the default given when a file is written to a folder) without having to grant full control. I want the users to be able to amend the file but not to delete/rename it. The only way I know otherwise is to use XACLS but I would prefer not to have to use that.

Thanks - John

As long as you select just Write in the Set Access Control dialog, it will grant the selected priviledge.

Michael,

That is all I did:

~InstallAware Clipboard Data~
~Set Access Control~
~{0D50CFE0-C9CC-4DDA-92B4-6C11AA7D29BC}~
~$TARGETDIR$\\student data\\mw2data.dbf~
~FALSE~
~FALSE~
~FALSE~
~TRUE~
~MASTER~
~FALSE~
~TRUE~

I tried giving the object read access only, and that worked. I can only assume that Write access currently implies other access types also, for the current implementation of this command. Sorry for the inconvenience!
