That's a worry.
It'd be interesting to generate a Process Monitor trace for this, as
it'll show exactly what iacls is doing. Just having a handle open to
some random file is weird, but it'd be good to know if it's messing
with permissions too.
I have created such a trace file which is quite large, so I removed a lot of repetitions where each and every file that was processed was shown. I hope it still contains enough information for you to find out what is going on.
I have uploaded the file here: http://www.sql-workbench.net/icacls_trace.zip
As this works correctly on XP I'm wondering if there is a substantial difference between cacls.exe (which is used on XP by the installer script) and the new icacls.exe
I wonder if it's to do with ACL inheritance? Maybe one of the
inheritance control flags like "NP" is needed. I don't know enough
about NT permissions to say, but inheritance would be my suspect.
No, idea either. I am by no means a Windows expert.
