There are three permission-style elements in WiX. Permission which works with all supported versions of Windows Installer (and has several known limitations), PermissionEx which works with Installer 5.0, and the WixUtilsExtension PermissionEx (doesn't use SDDL, but it is more flexible than Installer's built-in action).

[ProgramFilesFolder] gives my built-in Users group read permission but my application folder does not inherit this permission. I use Windows Explorer to create a folder under [ProgramFilesFolder] and the folder does inherit the Users permission. Is there a way through WIX to get the permission inherited? If I could move to Installer 5.0 I would use PermissionEx and set the SDDL but I need to use 4.5.
