Setting folder permissions?

Hope someone can point me in the right direction... I have a custom action that sets permissions on my program folder for the Users security group. This custom action fails on non-english versions of windows... I am guessing because the group is not named "Users" on non-english versions? How can I get this to work on any version of windows? Is there a wildcard in IS for the Users security group that is set based on Windows language? Or is there a more portable way to set folder permissions?

Why don't you use InstallShield built-in Permissions Dialog Boxes for Files and Directories?
