  1. Changing folder ACL within Windows Installer


    I am using Windows installer to install a workstation application in Program Files. It is installed for all users on the computer, some of which may not have administrative privileges. While the application's input and output data are stored in each user's Documents folder, there is an occasional need to store files in a subfolder of the installation folder. Since the application is within the Program Files folder, the default user privileges in all application folders prohibit the user writing to the folder. I need to change the ACL rights for that folder, but am uncertain how to do it within the Installer. Can anyone give me some help on this. Thanks in advance.

    :)

    C windows installer folder - Delete?

    He can do symbolic link redirection and move the files in it to a different location. *Wink Changing folder ACL within Windows Installer ;)
    Better try it out in a virtual of first. Just a suggestion.

    Like:
    First move everything in c:\windows\installer to d:\installercache
    Then delete c:\windows\installer folder
    Then type this in command mode as admin
    mklink /d c:\windows\installer d:\installercache

    Removing those installer files is a bad idea. it might prevent you from updating or uninstalling apps.
