For applications that run in locked-down environments, InstallShield has new functionality that significantly improved the way installations set files, folders, and registry keys at run time.
Developers frustrated with the traditional Windows Installer LockPermissions option will appreciate the improvements, none of which are supported by the old option, including:
- Support for many well-known security identifiers (SIDs) such as guest, everyone, and administrator
- Support for localized user names, which could cause the installation to fail in the traditional option
- Denying a user or group from having the permissions you are specifying
- Adding permissions to a file, folder, or registry key that already exists on the target system, without deleting any existing permissions for that object
- Indicating whether you want permissions to be applied to all of a folder's subfolders and files
- Configuring permissions for a new user that is being created during the installation
