I want to add some files to C:windowsXXX (windows protected folder, in Vista), under the "TrustedInstaller" for my application. I do not want to replace any file so no issues on Windows Resource(formerly file) protection.
I have the code to change "ownership" to the current logged in admin, however, I m don t have any clue how to set its file permissions programmatically. I m using VC++/MFC for development.
Thanks
I not 100% sure what you actually want (as do you want it to look like TrustedInstaller installed the files?) but look at this example of using SetNamedSecurityInfo. You generally need to constuct a Discretionary Access Control List (DACL) for your file, however you can "borrow" one off another file with the permissions you want to clone using GetNamedSecurityInfo as building a DACL from scratch is considerably more annoying.
An easy way to do it is to just use the system function to run icacls with whichever parameters you need. Note that it s found in cstdlib (#include <cstdlib>)
system("icacls <params>");
