How to set permissions on Folders in installscript type project

[MillionsterNutz]

Hi!

I´d just like to mention, that the script provided by amityadav79 / Klaus Ewinger is the better way to set the file or folder permission. CACLS is fine if your application is only installed on Systems of a specific language and culture.

If you want to install on different systems you´ll get problems with the UserGroup EVERYONE, because it will not be found if it has a different name like "JEDER" on a german system...
The script provided by Klaus is based on SIDs what means that it is language independet!

I´ve already found many threads in this forum concentrating on this secific language problem. The only solution found in these threads is using the third party tool SETACL.exe - Well I guess this script here is a more apropriate solution...

But the method specified in the rul file and header file doesn't work for folder created under restricted path under windows folder.

by the way, if you want to use GrantFullRegAccess with HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG, then add the following line to the switch statement:

case HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG: sBase = "CONFIG";
