CPACK_WIX_ACL

[ulrichard]

Hi nils,

I wanted to test http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=14924 earlier, but only now got to it.
I didn't get it to work so far. I didn't start debugging it yet, but maybe you see the problem before I have to.
This is what I tried:

INSTALL(DIRECTORY source/
DESTINATION "/"
COMPONENT app
PATTERN "Database/*.zip" EXCLUDE
)
IF(${CMAKE_VERSION} VERSION_GREATER 3.0.1)
SET_PROPERTY(INSTALL source/ PROPERTY CPACK_WIX_ACL Everyone=GenericAll)

INSTALL(FILES bergsteiger.JPG 
    DESTINATION "test"  
    COMPONENT test
)
SET_PROPERTY(INSTALL bergsteiger.JPG PROPERTY CPACK_WIX_ACL Everyone=GenericAll)

ENDIF()

This results in
'

Install properties only work on files; not directories.
You also have to include the destination directory in your path.
I've got a working example of it in use here: https://github.com/ngladitz/cmake-wix-testsuite/blob/master/properties/CMakeLists.txt

Thanks for the example.
I needed to change it to :
INSTALL(FILES bergsteiger.JPG
DESTINATION "test"
COMPONENT test
)
SET_PROPERTY(INSTALL test/bergsteiger.JPG
PROPERTY CPACK_WIX_ACL "Everyone=GenericAll"
)

But what I would really need is to set that on the directory, so that the installed application can create and populate sub-directories.
Looking at the code and documentation (http://ifw.podsvirov.pro/cmake/doc/sphinx/manual/cmake-properties.7.html#properties-on-installed-files) it looks like this is not supported by cpack, and is thus not really an option to implement in the WiX generator.
So, I guess I'll have to stick to the custom action for the time being.

It isn't currently implemented but it might be possible to implement.
If you think it should be feel free to open an issue on the cmake tracker.

Good idea.
