I have a problem with the deployment of my app: I created the app in C# (Windows Forms) on Windows 7, tested it, working just fine. I moved the .exe and dlls to another computer with Windows 10, tested, working just fine. All good with the app until now. The next step is to create a setup file for it. I managed to create the setup file, it installs my app, the app work but can't create files (log files for example - files are stored next to .exe file). I found out that the folder needs full control permissions for Users. How can I set the permissions to the folder when the app is installing?

  • Try this: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/e2294cb5-5d8a-4275-9651-b0a2933fccc1/create-a-folder-with-permissions-set-to-this-folder-subfolders?forum=csharpgeneral – Silviu Sep 22 '16 at 19:15
  • I tried to set permissions to the folder in Program Files on app startup. Not working. In that link is basically the same idea. – Corbeanu Alexandru Sep 25 '16 at 15:25

I found a solution, not as elegant as I wanted but it works: on commit, the setup will execute a .bat file with a script that will give full permissions for IIS_IUSER.

Check this link: How to run a ".bat" file during installation?
