Using a basic msi project, I have created a .msi installer. I then try to install locally on Windows200Pro SP4 and at the same time asked the installer using registry settings to write shared files to a snap2200 server. However, at install time, I get the following error::

"Error1926: Could not set file security for file
X:\drawings\. Error:50. Verify that you have
sufficient privileges to modify the security permissions
for this file."

The installer is trying to set security on a directory created by the installer on a mapped drive X which is a snap2200 server. If I use filemon, the following is observed:

247510 2:04:49 PM msiexec.exe:1280 OPEN X:\drawings NO SUCH FILE Options: Open Access: All
247511 2:04:49 PM msiexec.exe:1280 CREATE X:\drawings SUCCESS Options: Create Directory Access: All
247512 2:04:49 PM msiexec.exe:1280 READ C:\WINNT\CSC\00000001 SUCCESS Offset: 0 Length: 4096
247513 2:04:49 PM msiexec.exe:1280 CLOSE X:\drawings SUCCESS
247514 2:04:49 PM msiexec.exe:1280 OPEN X:\drawings\ SUCCESS Options: Open Access: 00040000
247515 2:04:49 PM msiexec.exe:1280 READ C:\WINNT\CSC\00000001 SUCCESS Offset: 0 Length: 4096
247516 2:04:49 PM msiexec.exe:1280 SET SECURITY X:\drawings\ NOT SUPPORTED
247517 2:04:49 PM msiexec.exe:1280 CLOSE X:\drawings\ SUCCESS

Has any one got any ideas on what "247516 2:04:49 PM msiexec.exe:1280 SET SECURITY X:\drawings\ NOT SUPPORTED" implies and what can be done to solve this problem. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

I don't know what snap2200 is and what file system it uses. But it looks like it doesn't support setting access permissions (like NTFS does)

snapp2200 is a server and most likely it is unix based. More details can be found at http://www.snapappli...00Main&nav=2200
