Category of the issue

Installation issue.

Brief description of your issue

Ffmpeg installs and runs fine but only for the user who installed it.
Installing with "--scope machine" works but only for the user who installs it.

all other users on the same machine receive an "access denied error". this is because the acces rights are set to RX (read execute) for the owner but to nothing for other users.

to fix it this commands can be run:

icacls "C:\Program Files\WinGet\Packages\Gyan.FFmpeg_Microsoft.Winget.Source_xxxxxx\ffmpeg-7.1-full_build\bin\ffmpeg.exe" /grant Everyone:(RX)

icacls "C:\Program Files\WinGet\Packages\Gyan.FFmpeg_Microsoft.Winget.Source_xxxxxx\ffmpeg-7.1-full_build\bin\ffplay.exe" /grant Everyone:(RX)

icacls "C:\Program Files\WinGet\Packages\Gyan.FFmpeg_Microsoft.Winget.Source_xxxxxx\ffmpeg-7.1-full_build\bin\ffprobe.exe" /grant Everyone:(RX)

Steps to reproduce

run from an admin account

winget install --id=Gyan.FFmpeg --silent --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements --scope machine

now run from a normal user account (non admin):

ffmpeg

you get
access denied

To fix this we can grant read and execution rights to all users: run from the admn account this (replace xxxxxx with the installation string.. i think its random)

icacls "C:\Program Files\WinGet\Packages\Gyan.FFmpeg_Microsoft.Winget.Source_xxxxxx\ffmpeg-7.1-full_build\bin\ffmpeg.exe" /grant Everyone:(RX)

icacls "C:\Program Files\WinGet\Packages\Gyan.FFmpeg_Microsoft.Winget.Source_xxxxxx\ffmpeg-7.1-full_build\bin\ffplay.exe" /grant Everyone:(RX)

icacls "C:\Program Files\WinGet\Packages\Gyan.FFmpeg_Microsoft.Winget.Source_xxxxxx\ffmpeg-7.1-full_build\bin\ffprobe.exe" /grant Everyone:(RX)

now run again from normal user

ffmpeg

a bunch of text should come with the programs version info

Actual behavior

run from an admin account

winget install --id=Gyan.FFmpeg --silent --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements --scope machine

now run from a normal user account (non admin):

ffmpeg

you get
access denied

Expected behavior

run from an admin account

winget install --id=Gyan.FFmpeg --silent --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements --scope machine

now run from normal user

ffmpeg

a bunch of text should come with the programs version info

@denelon - I believe this is a CLI issue
