I really don't think you should do this - from a security standpoint and it's probalby also a violation of Adobe's license.

Ok, forget about Flash10i.ocx file

How do I remove security restriction of other file?
And apply security restriction to other file?
When I make installation in InstallShield 2010?

thanks

It depends on the type of permissions.

If it's access permissions you can specify these for files you are instzalling in InstallShield by right-clicking the file in Files and Folder view. However in your case you want to change the permission of an existing file, so you would need to create a custom action, calling cacls.exe for instance.

If the file is protected in some other way, like system file protection, then the only supported way would be a digitally signed OS update.
