  I can't find this anywhere. There is no manual. There is no msi development forum. Good going.

  What is the vb script to set the permission in the msi installer tables (ex:LockPermissions) to do the following:

  c:\programdata\foocompany\fooproduct

  I need to add write permissions for foocomany folder for Users. Alternatively, set Everyone to All permission at foocompany or fooproduct.

  I have code for setting the registry, but don't have anything for folders yet.

  Note: if you don't have the specific query or a link to one, please don't respond.

  You can't really fault anyone for posting in the wrong place. Microsoft forums are so dyslexic that it's impossible to get it right.

   There is no msi development forum.
