<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I would like to set the permissions on some files and directories in my WiX installer. It looks like the CPACK_WIX_ACL property should be suitable, but I can’t get it to work. There are examples of its usage in this project:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://github.com/ngladitz/cmake-wix-testsuite/tree/master/properties">https://github.com/ngladitz/cmake-wix-testsuite/tree/master/properties</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Typically something like this:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Courier New""> set_property(INSTALL<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Courier New""> empty_directory_with_property<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Courier New""> non_empty_directory_with_property<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Courier New""> PROPERTY CPACK_WIX_ACL “Everyone=GenericRead,GenericWrite,CreateFile”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Courier New""> )<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">but this example doesn’t work for me with cmake 3.14.0. None of the .wxs files that are produced contain the expected Permission property. After adding some debugging to cmake, I found that cmCPackWIXGenerator::AddDirectoryAndFileDefinitions
calls GetInstalledFile, which always returns NULL. This prevents the ACL from being applied.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As an alternative, I’ve tried to use CPACK_WIX_PATCH_FILE to specify the Permission property for the relevant fragments, but the patch does not get applied to the fragments where directories are created. In any case, I think CPACK_WIX_ACL
would be preferable if I could get it to work.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Can anyone provide a minimal working example that uses CPACK_WIX_ACL?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Steve<o:p></o:p></p>
