This is not a very good way of doing this. I am not sure what is causing
your problem but may be if look at the methods I suggest they might
disappear.
You should use a method of creating a process then waiting for the process
to finish. The reason, your program runs another program which sets the
permissions, that program then hands that information to the LSA the applies
the permissions. By the time that your program has run calcs again the
permissions may not even be set, especially if you have lots of permissions
to set. I found this out with a similar issue. Its all do with how windows
allows different processes to have the cpu.
If you had the time you could use the ADSI SDK from the MS site, there are
plenty of examples for setting permissions in VB in an easy manner. It
certainly beats trying to set them with API calls.
Good luck,
