We just implemented RadEditor AjaxSpellCheck feature in a intranet website (with Integrated Windows Authentication) and it works fine for me. However, when users click on 'Add to dictionary' option for mis-spelt words, they are facing windows security alert and when hit on Cancel button its coming up with Spell Check Handler error:401.
It seems like this is happening due to users not having permissions on '~\App_Data\RadSpell' folder to create 'en-US-Custom.txt' file where all new users words get stored when hit on Add to dictionary option.
I would appreciate if someone can suggest me a fix for this i.e., through either RadEditor settings or giving write permission on ~\App_Data\RadSpell folder using some property in web setup msi?
I already tried setting the property AllowWriteAccess to True for both the folders 'App_Data' and 'RadSpell' in Web Setup project but it still fails with the same erorr.

You need to give full permissions and to apply them to all files and folders, because these settings are sometimes not inherited by the files (depending on your settings). More information on the subject is available in the following help article: http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/installsettingaspnetpermissions.html

Thanks for the reply.
I already checked this help article link with manual steps for granting permissions. However, I am looking for a solution where we can grant full permissions to files and folders through Visual Studio setup msi or telerik control properties. This is basically to have the privileges automatically applied when msi is run on the server without any manual intervention needed from the release team.
I know web setup msi related questions are out of your scope but since this is Telerik specific issue, do you have any other alternate solution available?

We do not include such functionality, because of the security concerns. Usually giving permissions is something only the administrator should do and if an installation package silently modified them we could expose a security risk to our client.
We have the information available in a help article, but unfortunately we cannot fully automate the deployment process.
