So, this past week I've been wrestling with the deployment project for the nGallery 1.6 release. Previously, I didn't have any problems because I didn't have to include any files that needed special permissions (such as write permissions). I only had directories that needed write, which was easy enough.

Now, with 1.6, I'm needing to set write permissions on two files that will be included in the install. And, I've yet to find anything on how to do this easily, other then creating my own custom action and registering it with the installer, etc... which is much more effort then I was wanting to put into this installer.

Of course, digging around a bit, I can't find much on this same issue.

I'd love to hear any thoughts, helps, tips, tricks, etc.. from you guys. Thanks!
