When you say trusted installer? Do you mean Windows Installer 4.5? Are you talking about click once deployment?

Your english is fine. But all you did was copy/paste. This doesn't help us disable Trusdtedinstaller.exe, which takes up a GODLY amount of my processor.

I do not have an answer to your question... however I actually found this utility that will help to restore TrustedInstaller as owner if you find yourself having to change owners on a directory that TrustedInstaller is the default. How to Restore TrustedInstaller as Default Owner of a File, Folder or Registry Key in Windows Hope it helps. Good luck.AnonYmous
