Thanks for you help. I understand now. Can you tell what I might have missed
to cause the ACL not to be set on the MachineKeys folder? Have I missed
something in how I've configured this? I've added the following code to a
separate Fragment file and my understanding is that this file will be pulled
into the installer. I have not referenced the file anywhere.
The full path to the MachineKeys folder is:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
Data\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys
<Fragment>
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
<Directory Id="AppDataFolder">
<Directory Id="dir6A68E13632B544EDA8F393F83B23F439"
Name="Microsoft">
<Directory Id="dir03FB174C3B8F4214AF6A130B8EAA7BA1" Name="Crypto">
<Directory Id="dirE956646E44EE4A23B07BD0A84D969F55" Name="RSA">
<Directory Id="dir9210B4F4F4A24357A3954AFC771C9E28"
Name="MachineKeys">
<Component Id="MachineKeysFolderPermissions"
Guid="352963FCB3794D8E9B9BE725929B5C47">
<CreateFolder>
<util:PermissionEx User="NETWORK SERVICE"
GenericAll="yes" ChangePermission="yes" />
</CreateFolder>
</Component>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Fragment>
Thanks again for your help.
