LockPermission Frustration

:mad: I have a very simple basic msi project. It creates 2 subfolders under the [CommonAppDataFolder] and installs 2 files. No shortcuts, no Registry entries, no xml changes, etc.
I need to give all users full control of my subfolder. So I go to the lockpermissions table and set:
LockObject: foldername
Table: CreateFolder
Domain: blank
User: Everyone
Permission: 1610809791

Target platform is XP and Win7. I am testing on Win7.
It does not add everyone and therefore they do not have full rights.
Users is there however it is not changed. I read a post that users does not work on non-english OS platforms so I have not tried this. It will need to work on at lest 5 other languages, Spanish, French, Portuguese, German, Chinese-Simplified.

Hmm, according to the "LockPermissions Table" help topic, the "Everyone" and "Administrators" should work regardless of language. For other user names, see for example www.installsite.org > Windows Installer > Tools & Tips > Using the LockPermissions Table on Localized Windows Versions.
