Hmm... that's a point. I will see if I manage to open a bug for that.

Re: [WiX-users] Registry permission for key and subkeys
Peter -- thanks for pointing that out. Obviously with this information I could fix the behavior by patching the WiX sources and building my own binaries. But looking at the current head of the 3.5 development I see the same code there as in 3.0. So I guess it is not planned to change the behavior. This would mean that I had to patch and rebuild with every new WiX release I want to use. I don't think that's what I want to do. So I will go with a CustomAction. Thanks again!

Sadly, you cant do it. Yan found the specific bit of code that causes this problem so if you are prepared to recompile wix yourself, you could make the fix. http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Registry-P ermissions-td2939332.html#a2939332 -Original Message- From: Andreas Hirth [mailto:a.hi...@luratech.com] Sent: 09 July 2010 13:24 To: 'General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.'

Re: [WiX-users] Registry permission for key and subkeys
That's exactly the problem. The permission must be inherited to keys created later by the application. I already have the code to put in a custom action but I try to use built-in functionality as much as possible. So I would prefer if there was a way to do it "natively" with Windows Installer or WiX.

Re: [WiX-users] Registry permission for key and subkeys
My colleague had this same problem. If you have a limited number of keys that are known at install time, you can add them all explicitly and set permissions on them. Since we wanted the permissions to cascade down to keys created by the application and we were short of time, we used wix's qtexec custom action to run an open source utility called SetACL. http://setacl.sourceforge.net/ -Original Message- From: Andreas Hirth [mailto:a.hi...@luratech.com] Sent: 09 July 2010 09:47 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Registry permission for key and subkeys Hi all, I'm struggling with the task to apply security settings to a registry key.

[WiX-users] Registry permission for key and subkeys
Hi all, I'm struggling with the task to apply security settings to a registry key. What I want to achieve is setting full access to Everyone for a registry key, and I want this being inherited. Unfortunately I only get as far as setting the full access right for Everyone on the key, but it applies "This key only": However, I need it to apply to "This key and subkeys".
