I have an app installer (more than one actually) that several times during the install produces an error like this: Cannot read access control list. Error code: 1400 This error is not fatal to the install process, so I am not really looking for anyone to solve the issue, but I am wondering if this is a Wine limitation or if it should be considered a full fledged bug? On a native Windows install, apparently what is happening is the installer is attempting to change permissions of certain folders/files, and XP / Vista (Win2K too?) have additional security over these changes, hence the attempt to read the "access control list". Yes, no? Bill

As far as security goes - since Wine is a 100% user space app it does not require any additional rights to install programs. Unlike windows where one have to be an administrator to do so. This means that all files Wine generate are owned by you (as user) and you have full 100% access to them.
I guess the question then is whether Wine should/will provide an ACL if the installer asks to read one, regardless of whether the list is meaningful. The installers which produce this error are from flstudio.com, both the FL7 and FL8 versions (demos) and also the Toxic Biohazard soft synth installer from the same company/website. Bill

Supporting full ACL on files - unrealistic.
