#454: file permissions of executable on vista ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: Toxaris | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.6.0.1 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: normal | Ghcversion: 6.10.1 Platform: Windows | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- When installing a binary on Windows Vista using ghc 6.10.1 and Cabal 1.6.0.1, it is not accessible for ordinary users. Old binaries installed with ghc 6.8.2 and Cabal 1.4 had "read" and "execute" permissions set for "all users", while new binaries have only permissions set for "administrators". Cabal should set "read" and "execute" permissions for "all users" for binaries. A workaround is to manually set these permissions using the executable's properties dialog. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/454 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
