#454: file permissions of executable on vista

      Type:  defect         |       Status:  new    
  Priority:  normal         |    Milestone:         
 Component:  Cabal library  |      Version:  1.6.0.1
  Severity:  normal         |     Keywords:         
Difficulty:  normal         |   Ghcversion:  6.10.1 
  Platform:  Windows        |  
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
 When installing a binary on Windows Vista using ghc 6.10.1 and Cabal
 1.6.0.1, it is not accessible for ordinary users. Old binaries installed
 with ghc 6.8.2 and Cabal 1.4 had "read" and "execute" permissions set for
 "all users", while new binaries have only permissions set for
 "administrators".

 Cabal should set "read" and "execute" permissions for "all users" for
 binaries.

 A workaround is to manually set these permissions using the executable's
 properties dialog.
