Setup Builder and System Center Updates

[NewsArchive]

I have a SetupBuild exe that is distributed via System Center.

In the last revision of my "setup", when it replaced a couple of DLLs,
it appears it did not give access rights to the end user.

The user has read/execute access to the folder (and the previous DLLs)
but the access to the DLLs has been changed - not sure why either since
this is about the 5th release of this setup.

How can I assure that the setup at least inherits the user access rights?

In most cases, you have to "reset" the user rights. Security resource
properties for the existing file are not copied to the new file.

Friedrich,

In this case a previous version of my install tool installed the DLLs.
They are just being updated.

They are COM controls. In my script I unregister them before the new
ones are copied.

Is it possible they are not getting properly unregistered?

Paul,

I don't think that it is related to a COM unregistration process. The user
access rights are stored at "file-level" and not in the Windows registry.

Also make sure that the files are not in-use during the update process. If
you have to reboot the machine then this will also "clear" the user access
rights.
