Setting folder permissions thru set-up project
-
I have a standard Set-Up project in VS2003 for my application. As part of the deployment, several folders will be created on the user's machine. Is there a way to set the folder permissions for these new folders?

You could do it with a custom action DLL which can use API calls, or even execute CACLS to set permissions. Won't work with a non-NTFS filesystem, of course, so you might want to check for that first.
