Setting up Permissions during installation

[Anbu]

Hi All,

I'm writing an installer to install ASP .net web site on the web
server. The application needs to generate log files based on the input.
These log files will be passed by the administrator while installing
the application.

Could any one tell me how to provide privilege to a particular folder
when installing the application? Is CACLS.exe the only way for this?

Is there any classes available in .NET to change the directory
permission to develop the functionality?

I'm using .NET 2005.

Thanks,
Anbu

You can set permissions with the help of classes from
System.Security.AccessControl.

For good samples you can look here ( http://west-wind.com/weblog/posts/4072.aspx )
