Question regarding PermissionEx (WIX)

I am new to WIX. I am using util:PermissionEx for creating ACLs. I can successfully set rights like read, write, read & execute but I am unable to find any information about setting Modify Permission.

I have tried using "Append" attribute to achieve this functionality (this seems to be the only attribute that may do the desired)

But using this, the following compilation error appears: "error CNDL0004: The util:PermissionEx element contains an unexpected attribute 'Append'."

Could you please help me out in this. Thanks.

My question, and answer-to-self at WiX Permissions, how do I express 'Modify' in terms of DACL flags may assist in some way in terms of mapping the simple right Modify to specific rights.

Looking at the doc, the Append attribute definitely seems to be permitted - what build of Wix [3] are you using? With the latest version, you should be able to remove util: and Ex from your tag as it all seems to be natiuvely supported now. Other examples also show an Extended attribute, which is not accepted by newer versions.
