Hello, I am seeking help for the following scenario:

I have a shared WIX file describing the directory layout. This WIX file is 
included in other WIX files:

<Directory Id="DesktopFolder" Name="Desktop"/>
      <Directory Id="ProgramFiles64Folder" Name="Program Files">
        <Directory Id="dir.MFxRoot" Name="Foo Manageability">
          <Directory Id="dir.MFxBuildVersion" Name="$(var.BUILDVERSION)">
            <Directory Id="dir.MFxBuildVersionEnUS" Name="en-us">
            </Directory>
          </Directory>
        </Directory>
    </Directory>
 </Directory>

In a different WIX file I reference the directories via DirectoryRef.

I like to set permissions on the dir.MFxRoot folder. I looked at the Permission 
element in WIX help and saw that it does not list the Directory or DirectoryRef 
element as parent.  I do understand that there is a CreateFolder element, which 
allows setting permissions, but I am not seeing a reason using it, since my 
directory hierarchy is already created by virtue of specifying the directory 
layout.

How can I set permissions on the dir.MFxRoot directory, but keep sharing the 
directory layout in a separate file?

Thank you
