Hi all,
I would like to set the permissions on some files and directories in my WiX
installer. It looks like the CPACK_WIX_ACL property should be suitable, but I
can't get it to work. There are examples of its usage in this project:
https://github.com/ngladitz/cmake-wix-testsuite/tree/master/properties
Typically something like this:
set_property(INSTALL
empty_directory_with_property
non_empty_directory_with_property
PROPERTY CPACK_WIX_ACL "Everyone=GenericRead,GenericWrite,CreateFile"
)
but this example doesn't work for me with cmake 3.14.0. None of the .wxs files
that are produced contain the expected Permission property. After adding some
debugging to cmake, I found that
cmCPackWIXGenerator::AddDirectoryAndFileDefinitions calls GetInstalledFile,
which always returns NULL. This prevents the ACL from being applied.
As an alternative, I've tried to use CPACK_WIX_PATCH_FILE to specify the
Permission property for the relevant fragments, but the patch does not get
applied to the fragments where directories are created. In any case, I think
CPACK_WIX_ACL would be preferable if I could get it to work.
Can anyone provide a minimal working example that uses CPACK_WIX_ACL?
Thanks
Steve
