My colleague had this same problem. If you have a limited number of keys that are known at install time, you can add them all explicitly and set permissions on them. Since we wanted the permissions to cascade down to keys created by the application and we were short of time, we used wix's qtexec custom action to run an open source utility called SetACL. http://setacl.sourceforge.net/

What I want to achieve is setting full access to Everyone for a registry key, and I want this being inherited. Unfortunately I only get as far as setting the full access right for Everyone on the key, but it applies "This key only": <RegistryKey Root="HKLM" Key="SOFTWARE\Foo" Action="create"> <util:PermissionEx User="Everyone" GenericAll="yes" /> </RegistryKey> However, I need it to apply to "This key and subkeys". Is there any way to get this working other than a custom CustomAction? Any advise is much appreciated!
