Expand Archive Actions and Extracted File Permissions
InstallAnywhere includes three expand archive actions: Expand Archive Action, Expand Archive (7-zip) Action, and Expand Archive (TAR) Action. The permissions assigned to files that are extracted from an archive file during installation vary between the three types of expand archive actions. In some cases, the original permissions of the file are retained. In others, the settings that are made in the Default Permissions setting (Project page > Platforms view > UNIX or Mac OS X areas) are applied to the extracted files. The following table lists how permissions are applied for these three expand archive actions.
