Permission to modify please!?
Hi
With our applications we permission certain directories with user, Power User and Administrator. In the Lock Permissions table these are represented by 1180073, 1180095, and 268435456 respectively.
However if we need a user to have modify access, and leave the system to generate a number for this, 537002431, it is not accepted on the client site. Is this to do with inheritance, their slightly different AD environment??
Any suggestions welcome

Probably.. have you read the SDK info on the lockpermissions table?
"Permission can only be set in the LockPermissions Table for users that already exist on the computer or domain. An attempt to set permissions for an unknown user causes the installation to fail, even if that user account is created during the installation by a deferred custom action."
Why not use something like setacl to do the job? It's much more flexible..
Good luck :-)

Thanks for your reply Rob but i think you've misenterpreted my question.
I was worried about getting it across in writing.
