Programmatically allow write access for a Registry key
- by Kerido
Hi everybody,
I need to programmatically modify the Access Descriptors on a known Registry key during product installation. The way I want it to work is:
The installer is run in Administrative mode.
A Registry key is created.
A function (the one I need) queries the ACL from the key.
If this function finds that the group 'Users' already has write access, nothing should be done.
If not, it should add a new permission allowing write access to the 'Users' group.
The permissions are saved for the Registry key.
This question is similar to Setting Registry key write permissions using .NET, however, I need a C++/Win32 implementation.
Thanks in advance
