Sharing INSTALLDIR and set permission everyone full

[woosha]

Hello,

I'm trying to share my INSTALLDIR with the promission FULL for EVERYONE.

I have tried the net share command with no luck.

I have alose tryed the diffrent installscript from http://www.installsite.org/ with the same result.

Both of this share the folder but no promission for everyone is set. With net share i alose tryed the /GRANT:Everyone,FULL but this works onlye on enlish OS.

I have googled internet and search this formum for anything usefull with no luck. Using VB script is not an option at this moment.

You can check for the components view in a basic msi project to set permissions on folders created during installation

That's for NTFS and not for the shared folder. I want to set the promission on the shared folder.

I used a CA that launched an OS Executable "stored in the Directory table" called cacls. Formatting the CA as follows:

Working Directory: SystemFolder
Filename & Command line: cacls "[INSTALLDIR] /E /G Everyone:F

This was in a Basic MSI project, don't know if it is any different in an Installscript one. What I did find was that trying to do it through InstallShield didn't work, because it overwrote the previous set of permissions, it didn't edit them which is what the /E flag indicates.

I have tried this but it want work on a computer with a diffrent language than english (the everyone). Is there a way to use cacls.exe with SID insted?

I found out trying that this set the permission on files/folder and not on the shared folder permission.

PS! Tnx for the fast reply 🙂
