Make file read/write for all users during installation

I need to make a file read/write for all users during install. Right now, the file is only read/write for admins and only read for non admins.

I am using InstallShield Premier 2010. The problem is I am very new to this product and not quite sure how to achieve this. The help files were little to no help. Any ideas on how to achieve this using InstallShield.

I would also be open to a non InstallShield way of doing things if it exists.

Thanks

  • You can right-click a file or a folder, select Properties and then click "Permissions" button. Another solution is to use XCACLS.EXE as a custom action.
