Administrators is a Group, not a User. Don't you want Administrator (singular)? I found this feature to be less than reliable so we set all permissions on a generic level and then have the end user set the permissions that they really need outside of the installer. Besides, it's usually some account that we had no clue about to which the end user wanted to give the permissions. No way to resolve that.

Hi, I'm trying to use the built in wix support (Permission element inside CreateFolder element) that would set the ACLs for the accounts specified. Something like below. However, when installing the component, security rights are not modified for the folder. Any thoughts on what are some prerequisites of this working, things to check? - Installer runs as admin. - Target OS is Win 2003 - ACLs are set to be inherited.
