PermissionEx Element (Util Extension)

Description

Sets ACLs on File, Registry, CreateFolder, or ServiceInstall. When under a Registry element, this cannot be used if the Action attribute's value is remove or removeKeyOnInstall. This element has no Id attribute. The table and key are taken from the parent element. To use PermissionEx with an IA-64 MSI, you must compile all of your source files with the "-arch ia64" switch, to ensure the IA-64 custom action is used, and not the x64 custom action.
