I ran another install and monitored what the process was doing and it *is* recursively touching all files on my harddisk when

That's a worry.


I verified this using ProcessExplorer displaying the open file handles for the running icacls.exe
It'd be interesting to generate a Process Monitor trace for this, as it'll show exactly what iacls is doing. Just having a handle open to some random file is weird, but it'd be good to know if it's messing with permissions too.

I wonder if it's to do with ACL inheritance? Maybe one of the inheritance control flags like "NP" is needed. I don't know enough about NT permissions to say, but inheritance would be my suspect.
