Hi,

I use Macrovision's Adminstudio InstallShield to create packages that we push via AD GPO (no SMS here). By default our wkstn's grant only Read&Execute to newly created folders in root C (done via GPO). Within an MSI I want to create a new root folder and grant %COMPUTERNAME%\Users "modify". In the "Permissions" window of a newly created folder in IS Editor what do I put in the "Domain" field to specify the local computer name? (I tried %COMPUTERNAME% but no luck). Or can I even?

Granting "modify" to mydomain\Domain Users would be an acceptable solution, but when I do this it doesn't work, specifically, it recognizes the AD group and puts it in the ACL of the folder but members of Domain Users get no such rights in reality.

Try [%COMPUTERNAME]

I'm not sure it will work, but the variables need to have square brackets and a % sign. The example in the help file was for a domain and they used
[%USERDOMAIN] for the variable.

I don't know why they won't let you use regular variable names, but I've never been able to get them to work without the brackets and only one % sign.

You could also leave the domain part blank and just put in LogonUser in the user field. That would grant permissions to the currently logged on user.
