View Full Version : Shipping tps files with installer

I'm currently working on a project which utilises .tps files (Somthing
I've not done for ages), and I thought it would be nice to ship a
couple of files with some example data already in them.

I'm putting my .tps files in C:\ProgramData\myco\myprog\

When I run the program on my development machine my folders are created
by my clarion app the first time it runs, and everything works fine.

When I install my app on a test workstation using SB, my folders are
created, and my files are placed in the correct folder, but my
application gives me an error saying that I can't open the files.
Checking the permissions of the myprog folder, I have read,write,
execute.

If I compare that to my machine, I have full access to the myprog
folder. If I change the permissions on the folder that SB created to be
full, my application works fine.

Is there a way that I can script SB to give full access to the myprog
folder for local users?

I've looked throught the docs, and can't see anything.

Regards,

Neil.

Hi Neil,

you can use the "Set Access Control..." function to manipulate the access
control list (ACL).

There is a cool demo in the "Learning SetupBuilder Part I" CHM (see attached
screenshot).

Does this help?
