  GRANT WRITE ACCESS FOR A FOLDER DURING WEB SETUP PROJECT INSTALLS?

  Apr 20, 2008 08:23 PM|LINK

   Hi,
  

  
  I have a simple issue.. I just need to grant write/full access for a specified directory after my web setup project commits installation.
  What I did is:
  I created an installer class library for setup project. And I added the project into commit section of installation. After committing, my installer class library is executing and trying to give access for 3 directories (for uploading process). But I couldn't find the right code for giving full permission for a directory. Below, you can see my code which is trying to give access.

   

     const string account1 = @"NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE"; 

     public override void Commit(System.Collections.IDictionary savedState)
          {
              base.Commit(savedState);

              string targetDirectory = Context.Parameters["targetdir"] + "\\upload_directory";
  

              SetSecuritySettings (targetDirectory  , account1);
  
           }

  public static void SetSecuritySettings(String path, String account)
          {

                AddDirectorySecurity(path, account, fileRights, AccessControlType.Allow);
           }

   

     public static void AddDirectorySecurity(string path, string account, FileSystemRights rights, AccessControlType controlType)
          {
              try
              {
                  DirectorySecurity dSecurity = Directory.GetAccessControl(path);
  
                  System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule fsar = new System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule(account, rights, controlType);
  
                  dSecurity.AddAccessRule(fsar);
  
                  Directory.SetAccessControl(path, dSecurity);
              }
              catch (Exception ex)
              {
                  MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, "error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);
              }
          }

   

  
  But this code just adds special permissions and it doesn't work for my website to write that folder. So I found the code below which is a command prompt  code:
   icacls.exe C:\INETPUB\WWWROOT\TARGET_SITE  /grant "IIS_WPG":(F,WDAC) /T
  and it's the same result like the first one. Doesnt' workk. So I still could not find any way to give full access permission for a directory.

   

   

  Any Ideas? Does anybody must have to be done this before?
  Thanks in advance.
