Installation issues with InstallShield 2008 under Windows XP
We have the following installation problem under Windows XP SP 3 using InstallShield 2008 Professional Edition Version 14. 1. A user is logged in on the target machine as a user without administrative rights, a member of the Users group. 2. The user has opened a session with the website and a self-registering component is in use. 3. The installation is started from a self-extracting installer using "Run as" with administrator credentials. 4. The installation finishes with the prompt that the machine must be rebooted. 5. The machine reboots. 6. As a result the access rights to the self-registering component for the Users group members is lost. 7. The component cannot be instantiated if you belong to the Users group. 8. The component is properly instantiated by the members of the Administrators group.
Is there a way to monitor what happens after the reboot because the access rights are still there before the reboot?
I used the sysinternals tools PendMoves and AccessChk to diagnose the issue. PendMoves reports 3 objects including the one in question - dll3.dll to rename after reboot.
running accesschk against dll1f0g.rra and dll2h3t.rra for "users" returns R, i.e. members of "users" have Read privileges.
running accesschk against dll3u6g.rra for "users" returns No security Information available for c:\Program Files\..\dll3u6g.rra No matching objects found.
running accesschk against dll3u6g.rra for "administrators" returns RW, i.e. read/write privileges.
How could the privileges been revoked for the dll3u6g.rra file and subsequently for dll3.dll for the "users" group?
