Installer not identifying 'Users' group in French OS
Hi
I am trying to create one installer for English as well as in French using InstallShield 2009. I created an installer and it works fine in English Operating System. But in French Operating System, it is giving an error "Error 1609.An error occurred while applying security settings. Users is not a valid user or group......"
In one of the regkeys I am giving full control permission to 'Users' group. In French OS the 'Users' group name is translated to French as 'Utilisateurs' and I guess this is causing issue. Can someone help me on how to give permission to Utilisateurs if the OS is French. I am using installscript based MSI projects.
Thanks in Advance.

I haven't tried it, but perhaps see www.installsite.org > Windows Installer > Tools & Tips > Using the LockPermissions Table on Localized Windows Versions.

Thanks a lot for the reply. It works!!
Following are the steps I tried based on the link you had pointed. The steps followed are:
1) Added the mergemodule "Merge Module to lookup wellknown SIDs"
2) To give permission to 'Users' group, in LockPermission table I used the variable "[SID_BUILTIN_USERS]"
3) Built the installer and tested, it worked.
