Wrong permissions on several files

[supmate]

Hey Aslain,

 

while playing around fighting lags and errors of python.log,

I figured, that the filesystem permissions are set wrong on some files. after running your installer.

 

I used AccessEnum from sysinternals.com to check the WOT folder. See screenshot.

 

If I start WOT as Non-Administrator, I get errors in python.log and the game hangs at battleloading screen if I start a random battle.

If I start it with an account that has administrator-rights, it runs fine.

 

this might also be the cause for the other thread

 

To resolve the issue, I manually set permissions on the WOT folder recursively.

Procedure (for Win7) for others with issues:

goto Properties of WOT folder > Security > Advanced > Change permissions

Check the option "Replace all child object permissions..." then click OK.

 

 

Thanks mate.

I have no influence on this, the installer is doing it all automaticaly. It's a local thing.

So you were not able to reproduce it? I cannot explain how this should be local, can you?

My only explanation for now would be that your source files of these files have wrong/missing permissions, and these permissions get preserved to my disk somehow.

For the sake of completeness the missing permissions are "Authenticated Users" and "Users".

 

Anyway, its not a big thing...I will try to reproduce it on another machine on occasion.

 

Have a nice weekend :)

Yup, was not able to reproduce it. You must have a very limited user account, so only full access as admin is allowing you to install the modpack correctly.

 

Likewise :)

I am always installing it as admin. I have not configured any special permission things on this system other than creating a standard user account.

 

When I tried to launch WOT as a standard user I encountered this problem.

 

The question is why should these files permissions differ from other files permissions in the wot folder after running your installer.

 

As in for example: Why has the file _Aslain_logs.zip different permissions than the file _Aslains_Installer.log.

Everything is set localy, the installer cannot transfer permissions from my pc to your computer just like that, without my knowledge.

 

Basicaly I do not touch permissions at all, I do not set it up as well, everything is default.

 

Something localy is doing this to you.

Alright :D lets just blame MS

And WG too, it's good to blame them from time to time as well ;)
