Setting Access Rights to all users
Hi,
I need to store an IniFile to COMMONAPPDATAFOLDER. But Vista denies write access to this file until I set the access rights manually as admin.
How can I manage to set the rights for this IniFile to all users?
Thanks, Messie

I hope that helps.

thanks for your help. Maybe my description was not precisely. The installation procedure itself works fine and it needs admin rights due to hardware access.
But afterwards the program may not store settings to its IniFile stored in the COMMONAPPDATAFOLDER path. To change it, I have to set the access rights for this file before it is installed (see attached menu). But what entry do I need to set full rights for any user?
Thanks, Messie
meanwhile I tried everyone, but this didn't do (see attachment).
Vista denies installation (security settings could not be set because Vista-Test/everyone is no valid user or user group)
So I still need a solution. Yet I didn't find any information about these settings.

Yes, this seems to work. Thanks for your help!
It would be nice to have some informations about the keywords used by the msi.
Thanks, Messie
I have used the Everyone user account and set the appropriate permissions for the [INSTALLDIR] which works fine for a Vista or any other local install. However, by using the Everyone account it causes an install permission problem on a shared folder within a domain.
Is there a way around this? To I need two different installs?
Any help is appreciated.
