Setting Permissions on the [CommonAppDataFolder]

I read in these forums how to do this in Setup Factory, but how do I set permissions on the folder [CommonAppDataFolder] to "Full Control" in MSI Factory 2.2? I just see the Folders option in the software.

The common application data folder (typically "C:\ProgramData") is already available for full control to all users, there is nothing you need to do.

On Windows Server, it is true only for users who belong to the local Administrators group. The local Users group only has Read rights.

Windows Installer has no built-in feature for setting access rights, as far as I know, so you may need to use some workaround. You probably could use secedit.exe, XCACLS.vbs or icacls.exe for setting the rights you need, performing a deferred CA, so it runs with elevation.
