As I understand it: the intent for that flag is to use it in environments
where leaving the flag off produces build failures. Normally the output
directory should have permissions that allows full control for the user
running light and whatever other permissions are needed to administer the

A wixlib simply "moves" the compiling of the wix code to another location in
your build. I suspect you are defining the property in both locations. You
should define it in just one place (you can reference it/use it wherever you
need, including multiple locations).

Okay. Now I see what you mean. I can see how the -sacl flag affects the

Hi, I need to grant permissions (both normal filesystem and
) to lists of users / groups. I don't know in
advance how many users or groups will be in each list. Is this possible and
if so, how do I do it?

Instead of using WixUI_FeatureTree and/or WixUI_InstallDir, copy one of them
and use the copy instead. Add references to the dialog you need to your
copy. This is explained in the help, on this list, and other places as well.

Thanks Neil. I've been trying out different scenarios with sending the output

But I must be missing something. Do you have an example of the permissions

Hello all,
I'm building a very simple WiX installer MSI, that simply copies and
registers a COM library (The COM dll is a 32bit file).
To create all the registry entries for the COM library, I used "heat.exe"
(as Microsoft does not recommends using the self-reg option of the dll).
Everything work
