Software Deployment

The clues in the description. Create a HKCU key and use that as this components keypath

Hi Devil

In order to resolve this problem the component must have a keypath referencing to a registry key not the file itself because the file is installed to USER profile. If you don't have any registy on Component MAINDATA.HLP that's under HKCU try to create a dummy registry and make it a keypath.

Thanx all of u guys...u rock

Now im getting this error
ICE55 Error Could not find item 'BORLAND' in table 'CreateFolder' which is referenced in the LockPermissions table. LockPermissions LockObject BORLAND CreateFolder Users

How to solve this?

LockPermissions LockObject BORLAND CreateFolder Users

2 options,

If you actually want your msi to set security on the BORLAND folder (merge module maybe?) open the CreateFolder table and see why the folder BORLAND is missing.. perhaps it's in the Directory table instead.
If you don't want/need to set this security, delete the line in the LockPermissions table.

In any case beware that settings in the LockPermissions table will completely replace existing permissions, so use with care!!

link with all the info you need

that's a "Reported Attack Page" according to google!

Also, if you must use LockPermissions, remember that you must either use the correct account or group name according to the locale or use well-known SIDs for the account or group. For example, the group 'Administrators' will be ignored on machines set up to use a non-English locale. For example, machines set up to use French it would need to be 'Administrateurs'.

Most people use a command line tool like SetACL, XCACLS, SubInACL or SecEdit via a Custom Action for setting permissions, since by default they add permissions rather than replace them.

They've fixed it in windows installer 5 apparantly!!
