When I tried building Sparrow in a Spanish Windows 10 system, the build failed in the task that sets write permissions for the user:
The failure occurred because the task used the group name
Users
, but in non-English systems it could be different (for example.,Usuarios
in Spanish), so Windows cannot find the group and theicacls
command returns error1332
.This change replaces the group name with the SID
*S-1-5-32-545
, a constant that always identifies the local Users group regardless of Windows version or language.
