Can't set Folder Permissions (2003 & 2008) using Basic MSI Project and CACLS . . .
I have a basic MSI Project that requires Server 2003 or 2008. In the root folder of the installation, I have a web folder, which must be accessible to both NETWORK SERVICE, USERS and DOMAIN USERS . . .
I've tried setting these permissions through the Installation Designer->Files and Folders then right clicking the folders, clicking permissions and then simply setting these . . . However, while the installation runs smoothly, none of these permissions are set!
Then I moved on to try with CACLS through install scripts running under custom actions, but with the same problem in that none of the permissions are set . . .
I finally tried CACLS in a command prompt and kept getting a "The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect" The command: cacls "C:\Program Files\CRM Extensions\NN\" /T /E /G NETWORK SERVICE:F
However, I've tried messing with it and either I get the "The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect" error or it simply shows me the cacls help (same as if you just write CACLS) . . .
If I try: cacls "C:\Program Files\CRM Extensions\NN\" It shows me the permissions for that folder correctly . . .
What am I messing up/doing wrong?
I'm thinking it's because I don't have permissions to set the permissions, but I log on to both test servers as the administrator!
