Rob, thanks for the quick reply. No change in behavior with PermissionEx.
xmlns:util='http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/Util' <Registry Id="Perm" Root="HKLM" Key="SOFTWARE\Test" Action="append" > <util:PermissionEx Extended="yes" Append="yes" Domain="MyDomain" User="MyUser" GenericAll="yes" /> </Registry> I noticed the subkeys are getting the permissions (even with <Permission>). Oddly, the subkeys are retaining the existing users/groups and adding the new user with the correct permissions. Any help for the root key would be appreciated.
