File permissions not working

[CChong]

I have an msi-project where I need to set modify rights for a specific group of domain users. I do this using the builtin permissions options for files and components.

My Lockpermissions table entry looks like this:

Client.ini - File - domainname - DomainUsergroup - 1610744255

I can build the package without problems. I install the package using SMS and there are no reported problems in the log. But when I look at the file "Client.ini" after the installation, the permissions I specified are not set, the DomainUsergroup is not even visible in the security tab of the file properties?!?

I am using AdminStudio 5.5 for the packaging, and the package is installed on a WinXP Pro client.

I really dont understand what is wrong here 😞

Are domainname and DomainUsergroup literally entered to the table? Screenshot of the table and file's security settings after being installed will be more descriptive.

"Domainname" is just a name to explain, offcourse I enter the real domainname, I have tried using the variable %USERDOMAIN without success.

"DomainUserGroup" is also just a name for description purposes, here I enter the name of the AD group that must be able to access the file.

The file's security settings after installation is unchanged from before installation. The security settings I set are not applied at all 😞
