Changing a dir security setting from installer

Beorne · 28th May 2004, 07:23

I use NSIS to make installers running on win platforms.
My problem is the following:
I create a number of directories during installation that are read and written by my application. I'd like to change the dir security settings to "complete control" to "everyone". In fact the application should be used by normal non administrator users. When I install the application I request the account of the installer has the administration rights, so there should not be promblems.
But I haven't found any NSIS command or archive modules/dll that enable me to do so.
Can you help me?

Thank you very much!

Use AccessControl from the Archive.
