    Change Permissions of .exe after packaging?

    Post by oze41998 »

    RunAs Different User causes an error (cannot find the file, even though it exists) - the fix has been to explicitly modify the ACL to include "Authenticated Users".

    Is there a way to modify permissions of the package from within a manifest?

    This is usually not necessary. Most likely you package the exe in a user folder. run the exe and it changes its security context to run itself under the new context. If the file is in a user folder (of the original user) it is no longer accessible.
    In most cases it is sufficient to place the packaged exe in a folder that is accessible to all users.
