Remote installation fails on create subfolder below c:\windows\winsxs

My software distribution tool fails because of it is not able to create
subfolders below
c:\windows\winsxs

I saw, that only the group trustedinstaller can create objects here. What is
the best pratice here to allow my remote installation tool to create the
subfolders needed to run the application.

Thanks

Rolf

RE: Remote installation fails on create subfolder below c:\windows\win

Your software distribution tool needs to be rearchitected for Windows Vista
so that it leverages the Windows Modules Installer service
(TrustedInstaller). Only that service is permitted to write to most places
under Windows. Anything that needs to modify files that are configured with
permissions only for TrustedInstaller should be leveraging that service.

See http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa382540.aspx for more info.
