cacls: Error 1304: Error writing to file

[Frank]

Hello,
I'd like to execute the following on a Windows Xp Pro computer in a domain
and want to make it won't "break" any other files on system:
cacls "c:\Documents and Settings\All Users" /T /E /C /G administrators:F
Issue: Photoshop was already installed on a computer but it may have
received an updated, etc and whenever it executes the automatic photoshop
installaiton/update it reports: Error 1304. Error writing to file: C:\Program
Foles\Common FIles\Adobe\PDFL\5.0\FOnts\ZY____.PFB. Verify that you have
access to that directory.
I wene to the Adobe support forums and they suggested the above command and
it may just work but woud rather confirm if there are any ramifications in
executing that command above.
Thanks

and want to make it won't "break" any other files on system:
cacls "c:\Documents and Settings\All Users" /T /E /C /G administrators:F

All it's going to do is grant members of the Administrators group full
control on the c:\Documents and Settings\All Users directory, something
that Administrators would/should already have.

Issue: Photoshop was already installed on a computer but it may have
received an updated, etc and whenever it executes the automatic photoshop
installaiton/update it reports: Error 1304. Error writing to file: C:\Program
Foles\Common FIles\Adobe\PDFL\5.0\FOnts\ZY____.PFB. Verify that you have
access to that directory.

I wonder why they would have you run cacls against the "All Users"
directory when the error reports issues with a completely different
folder...

John - Good point. It is a different path/folder. Thanks for your response.
