View Full Version : Change/Set NTFS File Permissions?

Hi Friedrich,

I am wondering if there is any way to set the NTFS permissions on a folder
(e.g. the installation folder) during installation. Ideally I want to allow
full control to the 'everyone' group, or 'power users' or something along
those lines...

Regards,

Jeff,

You can use the cacls command line tool to handle this.

BTW, we already have built-in functions in our internal source codes to
handle this from within the installer. This feature will be available
in one of the next SetupBuilder builds.
