I've searched around online but can't find what I'm after. Basically, during an install, we fire off a separate executable that basically brute forces a few folders to be read/write enabled for the user group "EVERYONE".
Now, the person that wrote this never took into consideration system language. I had a call with a customer in France that kept failing installation because "EVERYONE" isn't what we would expect.
I'm after an API call to Windows that would return a security group name which would be "safe" to use in a localized environment. Essentially I'm looking to safely edit this code so instead of hardcoding in "EVERYONE", we call a function instead.

Distribution groups are used for sending email notifications to a group of people. Security groups are used for granting access to resources such as SharePoint sites. Mail-enabled security groups are used for granting access to resources such as SharePoint, and emailing notifications to those users.
It's not possible to apply a group policy to a security group . However, you can change the permissions on group policy so that only certain users/groups have read and apply privileges.
Security groups can provide an efficient way to assign access to resources on your network. By using security groups, you can: Assign user rights to security groups in Active Directory. Assign user rights to a security group to determine what members of that group can do within the scope of a domain or forest.
The fundamental mistake here is not so much the use of EVERYONE, but rather that the code is using names at all. Instead of using names you should use the well-known SIDs. In your case you need S-1-1-0.
