I have a desktop application (.NET), and I have prepared an installer for it using a Setup Project in VS2010. A regular user is supposed to run the installer, and he should have administrator permissions.

Everything goes according to plan, however the application folder (C:\Program Files\Company\App) has limited permissions. I would like to set it to be readable/writable by everyone.

What would you propose is the right way to go with it? Right now I'm thinking "Custom actions", but I'm not sure this is the right way to go.

EDIT: Eventually I went with custom actions indeed. I created an installer class, and implemented the folder permissions changes in its "Install" function.
