Using Custom Installshield Locked-Down Permissions
Hi,
I am trying to set an everyone directory permission in the ProgramData\MyCompany\MyProduct directory. I am trying to use the Custom Installshield handling option of the Locked-Down Permissions with the "Apply Permissions to Child objects" set as I have a few files/folders in there.
When I run the installer I get "The Wizard was interrupted before product could be compleletly installed" in the dialog.
The log gives me Action ended 11:32:38: InstallValidate. Return value 1. MSI (s) (58:34) [11:32:38:309]: Doing action: ISLockPermissionsCost Action 11:32:38: ISLockPermissionsCost. Action start 11:32:38: ISLockPermissionsCost. MSI (s) (58:08) [11:32:38:358]: Invoking remote custom action.

CustomAction ISLockPermissionsCost returned actual error code 1603 (note this may not be 100% accurate if translation happened inside sandbox) Action ended 11:32:38: ISLockPermissionsCost. Return value 3. Action ended 11:32:38: INSTALL. Return value 3.
This error likely indicates Directory table entry MYPRODUCT is listed in the ISLockPermissions table to have permissions applied at runtime, but there is no corresponding CreateFolder table entry for this folder. Since this item is missing from the CreateFolder table, the folder is not explicitly created by the installation, and we are unable to determine what component would normally install this folder.
Typically, when folders are created in the IDE (such as in the Files and Folders view), CreateFolder entries are automatically created for new folders. In this case, for some reason, there is no entry in the CreateFolder table. You should be able to resolve this behavior by creating a new record in the CreateFolder table (through the Direct Editor), and set the Directory_ column to MYPRODUCT and the Component_ column to the name of a component contained in your project that should install this folder.
