Install4j 6.1: "Invalid mode" setting UNIX access mode

Since upgrading to from install4j 6.0.4 to 6.1 the Set the UNIX access mode of files and directories action fails with error message "Invalid mode"

[ERROR] com.install4j.runtime.beans.actions.files.SetModeAction [ID 66248]: Invalid mode
        Execute action not successful after 0 ms

This was seen in Mac OS X.

The action is configured with a directory name, a file filter script which checks that the file name ends with.sh, the recursive checkbox is set, and the configured mode is u+x.

Has something changed about the action in the new release?

Thank you

This is indeed a regression in 6.1 where the backend has been changed to use the Java 7+ API and only octal modes are supported. This will be fixed in 6.1.1. Please contact [email protected] to get the current build of 6.1.1 where chmod symbolic modes are supported again.
