Yeah, the only thing that does "friendly-name" resolution of a bunch of Groups is the PermissionEx stuff. We should factor out that look-up code and use it everywhere... just hasn't bubbled to the top of the priority list. Maybe something to tackle in WiX v4. Lots of clean up to do then.

OK, looking at the <Group> element, it doesn't let you identify a group by its well-known SID so attempting to reference the "Administrators" group on non-English distributions of Windows will fail because the name of the groups are localized, but the SIDs are always the same. While this follows the model of permissions that Windows Installer has, its still the wrong model. To be honest, the small amount of permissions stuff that is in Windows Installer itself just feels not very well thought out to me. Its one of the weaker areas of Windows Installer. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" -- DirectX 9 draft available for download <http://www.xmission.com/~legalize/book/download/index.html> Legalize Adulthood! <http://blogs.xmission.com/legalize/> ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
