Just write a postinstall shell script that sets the permissions.

If you don't know in advance what permissions the installed app is expecting on the files, then it's kind of hard to know what permissions you need to set.

I've got a situation where I have a directory in my installer that gets installed inside an application that I don't distribute. When the application tries to open files in the directory I install, it complains of permissions problems. The weird thing is this works on a couple of my machines, but not one of my users' machines.

I need to make sure that the directory (and contents) gets installed with full RW access for everyone on the computer, even though it is getting installed down in the directory hierarchy of a foreign app.

What is the proper incantation on my end (via setting permissions on the dirs/files, and flags set in the installer package) to make this happen? Note - I am using Iceberg.
