Providing File permissions in Installshield
- by Pawan Kumar
I have created an installer in Installshield X.
I want to give 'write permissions' to few files when the installation is done in Non-Admin Windows accounts ( by default it will have only 'read' permission).
If I select individual file and go to properties (inside Installshield),i have permissions tab where they have provided options like Domain , Readonly, Full Control, Modify etc. I have tested these options but it doesn't effect the msi file.(specific files doesn't have write permission). Is there something wrong I am doing?
There is another way of doing this, writing the script
Set objShell=CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
installDir = Session.Property("INSTALLDIR.5A884667_3CC4_41EC_B0F2_BEEAB457BB8C")
supportDir = Session.Property("SUPPORTDIR")
length = Len(installDir)
lastChar = Right(installDir, 1)
if (lastChar = "\") Then
installDir = Left(installDir, length - 1)
end if
'MsgBox supportDir & "\setacl.exe """ & installDir & """ /dir /set S-1-5-32-545 /full /p:yes /sid /silent"
objshell.Run supportDir & "\setacl.exe """ & installDir & """ /dir /set S-1-5-32-545 /full /p:yes /sid /silent",0,true
Can someone please explain me what is going on here? those last set s-1-5-32-545.
Thanks
