Re: [Boost-users] boost::filesystem and writing to Windows programdata structure

My research seems to indicate that I can modify my installer to set up my folders with appropriate permissions at install-time, but I’d prefer to use boost::filesystem to check folder/file permissions then change them at run-time, if necessary using appropriate csidl values.

Filesystem only supports the POSIX access permissions model when running on POSIX. It does not support ACLs, nor permissions at all on Windows. Niall -- ned Productions Limited Consulting http://www.nedproductions.biz/ http://ie.linkedin.com/in/nialldouglas/
