InstallAware

when i use the access control to change permission on a folder with
object type = file system,
operation = set chosen users with access rights,
user accounts = everyone + authenticated users
access rights = read + write

installaware sets full control for those everyone + authenticated users, this is not what is should be, since write is not equal to full control.

This seems like a bug. Also there should be more graduation possible inside the access rights options, e.g. which type of permission to set (or remove) like read & execute, Modify, Write, Full Control.

i don't wont to give full Access to installation folder because users can access and delete or replace parts off installed program.

how can i secure that?

i have another question .

how can i un-check the use simple file sharing (recommended) from windows folder options an then give to my installation folder write rights at the security tab?


ty everyone

PS: I think there's a registry setting discussed in the forums for the second part of your question.

i read this post before mine, but i did not see some post after this :

sorry, but no Admin wants users to have full-access / full control on folders.

users are tempering with folders and in worst case they remove administrators / systemaccount from accessing the folder. no one wants this situation.

I'm quiet sure, most of the others using IA are the same opinion.

there should be at least a graduation, where one can define which permission users should have on folders / files.

This should really be changed.

its a serious problem to have users full access in installation folder
