a short update on this after some testing.

> You should also check if AccessControl failed

I've added to the script granting FullAccess to folder "$INSTDIR\etc" and file which should be updated and a check of failing/success AccessControl [1].

furthermore I've elevated the bat file, which is called by the installer, to administrator by adding elevation to the bat manifest [2].

test report:

- setting AccessControl ok and file is updated:

win Vista 32bit
win 7 32bit and 64bit
win 8.1 64bit

- setting AccessControl ok, but file is not updated:

win 10 64bit in a virtual machine
