Hi, Edwin,
Thanks for your advice.
For the final product, we only give full control to authenicated users. Now, I
just want to study the C# custom action.
I have another strange finding while using the custom action, I have no idea
why???
[CustomAction]
public static ActionResult GrantEveryOneFullAccessToFolder(Session
session)
{
String installDir = @"C:\Installer\TestFolder";
SetFullControl(installDir); //this line works, it gives folder
full control.
String installDir2 = session["INSTALLDIR"];
SetFullControl(installDir2); //this line DOES NOT WORK,
return ActionResult.Success;
}
Any clue?
Regards,
JC

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] C# custom action to grant builtin user the
installation folder full control
Deferred custom actions must be scheduled between InstallInitialize and
InstallFinalize to execute within the installation transaction and thus
elevated.
Prefer to use
PermissionEx<http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/util_xsd_permissionex.htm>instead
of writing your own custom action.
Reconsider giving builtin\users full control of your target installation
folder. This is a huge security hole that will allow attackers to inject
arbitrary code into your application by copying a file to the application's
directory.
