Mike, Thanks for the reply. I have to apologize
but I still don’t quite get this. I don’t understand how to set
permissions for multiple directories for one user. Will it matter where I
place the component that creates the users (i.e – under which
directory)? Will I have simply have a CreateFolder/Permissions set of elements
for each directory that I need to set permissions for? And finally, are you
saying that the user would be created first and all directory permissions happen
later? Sorry for my questions but I’m still
learning the flow of Wix/WinInstaller. Thanks again. __________ Doug Watts From: Mike Dimmick
[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] The <Permission> element
references user accounts by name. It's fine to reference a user you're creating
under a component because the ConfigureUsers custom action (which schedules the
CreateUser action) is scheduled before the InstallFiles action and therefore
the user should be created before any files are installed and the permissions
set. (ConfigureUsers is referenced by the
compiler in ParseUserElement in src\wix\Compiler.cs, and is defined in src\ca\serverca\scawixlib\sca.wxs.
The actual function is implemented in src\ca\scasched\scasched.cpp.) If you need to create the user from
multiple features which might be selected independently of each other, you
should include the component which creates the user in all features. It should
be OK (I think) to have the component only create the user and not contain
any files. It does mean that the key path of the component will be the
<Directory> that it's contained in. -- Mike Dimmick From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of I need to create a new local system user and set permissions
for this user on multiple directories. I know that I can create the user
as follows: <Component
Id="AppServerComponentCreateUsers" DiskId="1"
Guid="CEEF3186-A2AF-4363-BBE0-42472A221001"> <User Id='MyUserID' Name='MyUser'
Password='password' FailIfExists='no' CreateUser='yes' PasswordExpired='no'
PasswordNeverExpires='yes' RemoveOnUninstall='no' UpdateIfExists='no'> <GroupRef
Id='MyUserGroup' /> </User> </Component> However, this component exists under a specific directory
element. I need to set permissions for this new user for several
directories. How do I do this? __________ Doug Watts |
