Rob, Thanks. That helps. I have a related question... I want to set permission on an existing file. Using the property as the directory ID I can easily get to the directory but it is unclear to me how to use the <File> element (or if I should) to specify as existing file. Since I want to use the <Permission> element I assume it would be a child of a <File> element. I just can't figure out which attributes are needed (for the file element). =20 __________ Doug Watts =20 ________________________________ From: Rob Mensching [mailto:Rob...@mi...]=20 Sent: Thursday, October 19, 2006 2:06 PM To: Douglas Watts; wix...@li...

Subject: [WiX-users] Directory ID and Path Question =20 Let's say that I read a path from the registry. The absolute path is read into a property. I want to set permissions on a specific file in that directory. Can I use the property (whose value I read from the registry) as the ID of a Directory element? =20 __________ Doug Watts =20 |
