Hi All,

I have a folder which is installed after an installation. This folder needs to have full control for the IIS account of the machine(IUSR_<machinename>). I am using install shield 10.5 on windows 2000 professional.
Which is the best way to do this in install shield?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Kiran Hegde

Your setup cannot set permissions on a folder that doesn't exist and that it doesn't create. So if you create that folder *after* your setup has finished you can set the permissions from Windows Explorer or using a tool like cacls.exe.

A btter solution might be to create the folder with your setup which enables you to specify permissions.
