Worth noting that making folders under programfiles user-writable is not generally advisable as it can be used to circumvent application launch protections like AppLocker. May make more sense to instead have this log sit in the user or programdata area. |

Proposed Changes
As described in #752 it wont work to write user logs since WAU2.0.0, this affected Winget-Install.ps1 runs within the user (seems to work for WAU user runs).
We are now checking on every run, if the folder permissions are correctly set to allow "everyone" to do everything within the logs folder and if the permissions are missing, we are setting it.
Please let me know, if "Install-Prerequisites.ps1" is a good place to check this, or if we should move it somewhere to the WAU installation itself (dont know which file is responsible for this?).
