Hey Jorge,
We'll look into this right now -- I'll get back to you.
Hi,We have been using WyUpdate nicely to our clients who are using a web application with IIS.
The physical folder and subfolders of the virtual directories have permissions to the local IIS user IIS_IUSRS.
We have release a new patch where new files and subfolders are deployed to the existing application.
Clients with windows2003 have not had any problem so far.
Clients with windows2008 are experiencing problems after executing the wyUpdate process. The reason is because the new web pages (aspx pages) and assemblies files (*.dll) that are deployed only have permissions for the administrator user who execute the wyUpdate process.
We need to allow the ISS_IUSR user to access those files; otherwise, the system crash. Basecally, wyUpdate should assign the same permissions of the parent folder.
This has been a bad experience as the have to go and change the permissions manually. That means that the system is not working until the server administrator change all the permissions to the new deployed files and folders.
Is there an option to indicate the wyUpdate to assign the same permissions of the parent folder??? I mean, inheriting the Security settings from the parent folder??.
Please advise, this is pretty urgent as we have released our patches yesterday and the clients are getting upset.

Hey Jorge,

This bug is fixed in wyUpdate 2.6.18.4. Sorry for the hassle. The cause of the regression was in our code to support Windows 8.
With wyUpdate 2.6.18.4 Windows 8 is supported and ACL is correctly set.
