The relevant parent of util:permissionex is createfolder.
Put a component in your directory tree that has a CreateFolder with a
permissionsEx nexted in it.
An example...
<Directory Id="windowstemp" Name="temp">
<Component Id="windowstempPerm" Guid="*">
<RegistryValue Id="windowstempfolderpermissions" Type="string"
Action="write" Value="1" Root="HKLM" Key="$(var.RegistryPath)"
Name="windowstempfolderpermissions" KeyPath="yes"/>
<CreateFolder>
<util:PermissionEx GenericAll="yes" User="$(var.GroupName)"
Domain="[ComputerName]" />
</CreateFolder>
</Component>
</Directory>

Subject: [WiX-users] Help with giving permissions to folder
My installer needs to encrypt the ConnectionStrings section of the
web.config file for our web application. This part I have working with no
problems, but as part of the process I need to provide the Network Service
with full control access to the following folder:
*C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
Data\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys*
I have not been able to figure out how to configure this with in my
installer.
I've tried adding the following to my Product.wxs, but it gives a build
error of: "The Directory element contains an unexpected child element
'util:PermissionEx'.". And xmlns:util has been added to the beginning of my
Product.wxs.
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
<Directory Id="WebSiteAppsFolder">
<Directory Id="INSTALLLOCATION" Name="!(loc.ProductName)">
</Directory>
<Directory Id="AppDataFolder">
<Directory Id="Microsoft">
<Directory Id="Crypto">
<Directory Id="RSA">
<Directory Id="MachineKeys">
<util:PermissionEx User="NETWORK SERVICE" GenericAll="yes"
ChangePermission="yes" />
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
How can this be done?
