Re: [WiX-users] Shortcuts in the All Users Start Menu
The permissions are: SYSTEM: Full Control Installer Service Account: Full Control So no other users can access or execute the shortcut. I can see only two places in the log file where file security is set and that is when calling the system restore service before installation commences and when copying the msi file to the local machine cache. I started the installer from a cmd window with elevated priviledges with the command line msiexec -i Setup.msi -lvx* install.log.

[WiX-users] Shortcuts in the All Users Start Menu
Hi,
I have a wix project that places a shortcut in a subfolder in the users start
menu, when I change the source to set the ALLUSERS property to 1 I get the
shortcut in the correct place but the permissions of the shortcut are incorrect
resulting in users not having access to the shortcut. Only system and the
installer service account have permissions for the shortcut.
Below are the parts that I use to install the shortcut onto the start menu.
Directory Id=TARGETDIR Name=SourceDir
Directory Id=StartMenuFolder
Directory Id=MyProgramFolder Name=PROGRAM
/Directory
/Directory
/Directory
DirectoryRef Id=MyProgramFolder
Component Id=ProgramFolderShortcut Guid={GUID}
Shortcut Id=ProgramProgramFolderShortcut
Name=Program
Description=Program UI
Target=[INSTALLLOCATION]Program.exe/
RemoveFolder Id=MyProgramFolder On=uninstall/
RegistryValue Root=HKCU Key=Software\Company\ProgramUI
Name=installed Type=integer Value=1 KeyPath=yes/
/Component
/DirectoryRef
I hope someone has a solution for me
