a.

c.
Click OK.
The domain and user names appear in the upper list box, and the list of permissions
is enabled.
3.
To set permissions, mark the check boxes.
You can add multiple users.
Warning
If you set permissions for a folder that is written to by this installation, be sure that the
user installing this application has privileges to write to the folder.
Example: Suppose you give write privileges to ASPNET_USER for Program
Files\SampleFolder, which later in this installation has files written to it. If the current
user profile running this installation is ADMINISTRATOR, then the installation will fail to
write to SampleFolder, because only ASPNET_USER has write permissions to
SampleFolder. ASPNET_USER is automatically set.

Editing Self-Registration Settings for Files
Many files support self-registration (examples: many .OCXs and some .DLLs). You can
edit these files so that they self-register during installation.
To edit self-registration settings for files
1.
Do one of the following:
In Installation Expert: On the Files or Web Files page, double-click a file.
In the Visual Studio integrated editor, you also can use the Visual Studio
Solution page.
In Setup Editor: On the Components or Features tab, double-click a file.
The File Details dialog box appears.
2.
Click the Self-registration tab.
3.
Complete the dialog box:
Registration Method
Do not register
Unordered (normal Windows Installer behavior)
Select this if the file does not require that other files in the installation be
registered first for it to self-register properly.
