[WiX-users] Directory Filesystem Attributes

2008-09-10 Thread Cody Cutrer
Is there any way to set the system attribute on a directory that is created by 
the installer?  The Directory element doesn't have Hidden and System 
attributes.  Also, the File element does have Hidden and System attributes.  Is 
there a way to set the attributes on an existing file not installed (or 
overwritten) by the installer?

MSI doesn't support attributes on directories (see the Directory table 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368295.aspx doc).

 Also, the File element does have Hidden and System attributes.  Is there a

MSI doesn't support that.
