It is hard coded. If you look at the code of ExecSecureObjects method, you'll see the following:
if (0 == lstrcmpW(L"CreateFolder", pwzTable)) { ea.grfInheritance = SUB_CONTAINERS_AND_OBJECTS_INHERIT; } else { ea.grfInheritance = NO_INHERITANCE; } As you can see, it applies inheritance for file system, but not for other types of objects, that is, not for registry. -- Yan -----Original Message----- From: Kusuma Sudheer Kumar (Tata Consultancy Services) [mailto:v-kku...@microsoft.com] Sent: Tuesday, May 19, 2009 3:47 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: [WiX-users] Registry Permissions Hi, My requirement is to provide Full Control to the Registry Node and its Child Nodes Ex : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog\ I was able to attack this using the <util:PermissionEx .../>. Thing happening is that it is providing the permissions to the EventLog for Network service but it ia not inheriting to the child nodes/Values. Is there any property that I need to enable for it to happen.
