SID when using Permission Dialog

[kkrzyzak]

Hi,
I'm installing my app in "Program Files" directory. Everything is fine when i'm using windowsXP. Problem is in windows 7. I have no permissions to write.
Here you write about generic groups but they are not localized.
So my question is how can i use SID ?
Example: SID for administrators group on every windows form NT, XP, 7 is the same.
Is there an option to set SID in AI?

Yours,
Karol.

Hi Karol,

Please note that Windows Installer does not support SID for permissions.
You don't have to use SID, instead try using the "Everyone" generic group which is not localized.

Hi Mihai,

You don't have to use SID, instead try using the "Everyone" generic group which is not localized.

I create simple project. As you can see "Application Folder" has "Full Control" "Permissions" for "Everyone".
Install it on Windows7PL and Windows7EN.

You wrote that the group names are not localized. So I allowed myself to check it out.
I installed the application on Windows7 EN which has a group "Everyone" and installed the application on Windows7 PL which has a group "Wszyscy" which is an exact translation of the word "Everyone".
So it works. Thanks.

Best,
Karol
