Registry permissions for user "Everyone"

Hi,

I have an installer that sets registry permissions based on the user "Everyone". This has worked fine for our English versions but now that we are building a localizable version there is an issue as "Everyone" doesn't exist in some languages. How do we get around this?

I'd appreciate any guidance you can offer.

Regards,

Quentin

Re: Registry permissions for user "Everyone"

Hello Quentin,

This may happen, on OSes with a language different than English, if you are using the "Keep existing permissions" option.
When the above option was used the Everyone group was not localized indeed on previous versions of AI. This was an AI issue which is fixed starting with our latest AI 13.1 version.

As a workaround you can use in the "Username" field the formatted reference of the "GRP_EVERYONE" property, just like this:
  • Username: [GRP_EVERYONE]
or you can rebuild your project with Advanced Installer 13.1 or newer version.

Let us know if this helped.

All the best,
Daniel
