Software Deployment

Any command line level permission utility can do this, an example is secedit.

Ok thanks.

I have to use ACLs due to inhouse standards.

Do you know the syntaxt to do this using ACLs?

I have to use ACLs due to inhouse standards. Presumably the 'ACLs' you're referring to is the tool itself (as an alternative to XCACLS, SetACL etc.)? It's not a tool I'm familiar with (or heard of, come to that). It must have documentation or, at the very least, a help screen (ACLS /? or ACLS /h or ACLS -?...you get the idea...)

In-house standards are all very well but it sounds like whoever dictated the use of this tool failed to ensure that it was documented. Why not simply include an alternative tool, one whose syntax you know, in the Binary table, along with a script to use it? There's no risk to anyone there, since the tool and script will get deleted when the installer finishes.

My apologies, I meant SetACL.

As far as I can make out, you just use the permission name instead of one of the standard ones e.g. 'read' would become 'traverse'
