Registry Permissions

Hi All!

I'm making an installer for a web page in ASP.NET. The problem is that I have to write in the registry, so I have to add Permissions for [ComputerName]\ASPNET in one of the keys of the Registry.

Somebody knows if it is possible with Installshield?

It is not possible even with "Regini" from cmd because with that Windows' utility you can only add permissions for Built in users (like Creator, Administrator, System...)

Thanks in advance!

With an MSI project, you can right-click a key and select Permissions to get started.

Thank you Robert...

..but it is much more complicated than that. Because I can't write a variable in the "Visual" Registry Management.

Anyway, I am working with Installscript MSI, so I'll make a program in C++ to change the permissions in the registry and will be launched by my installer (because I don't see how to do it with Installshield).

Thanks.

Right, the Domain and User fields of the LockPermissions table use the Formatted type (that is, they accept [PropertyName] expressions and suchlike), but the other fields don't...
