I have a "D" partition (local) and am logged on as an Administrator, but after running an MSI installation packet, which installs a program to that partition (D:\MyProgram), then newly created folder has only "READ" rights.
I can manually create folders and copy files to this partition and write to them.
If I install to any other partition, or on another PC to the "D" partition, then the created folder (D:\MyProgram) has full access rights.
On the problem PC and "D" partition, there are no other rights given to it (just the default rights)
Anyone know what may be causing this?

I believe that windows registers one location for "Program Files". If you create a second folder on D:\, then this is just treated as just another folder. If you want special permissions for your folders then have a look at the LockPermissions table.

Thank you for responding.
That isn't the problem.
The programm is being installed to some folder on the D: partition (such as: D:\TestFolder1\) , and after installing, the new folder's permissions are Read Only.
So, why is MSI or Windows restricting permissions for this folder on the D: partition, and not when the programm is installed on another partition?
Once again, please note:
1. On another machine I can install to a D: partition and full rights are given to the installed folder.
2. On the machine where the problem is occuring I can install to C:\Something, E:\Something or any other partition other than D:.
3. I have full admin rights
4. I can manually create any folder on D: and afterwards I have full permissions to that folder.
