I am making an MSI package for a certain application and everyone needs to
be able to write to a specific folder. I open the folders security tab and
add EVERYONE to the list and make the MSI package, but when I install it on
another computer, the security tab for that folder does not contain
EVERYONE. My question is, where are the folder security permisions written?
Are they somewhere in the registry or in a file?

Account names (such as EVERYONE) are located in the SAM hive of the
registry.
File permissions are set in the file header (a part of the Master File
Table), Folder permissions are set in the special area of the MFT which
contains folder information.
Your installation must create the appropriate permissions itself.

Your problem is that your installation package must add the permissions for
EVERYONE itself because you cannot know that these items are enabled by
default.
