Hi,

 

It is obvious that there are three execution levels in invoking the exe in installscript projects and i have used "Administrator" privilege for my use-case. Consider there are two user accounts in a user machine and let us name it as "Administrator" with administrator privileges and "guest" is a standard account with limited privilege.

 

i have set ALLUSERS property in installscript to 0(false)

 

Installing the product under administrator account went successful

installation directory- "C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming"

 

When i tried installing the exe in guest account(Standard user account)

 

UAC prompt show up and asked administrator authentication and i authenticated with administrator credentials.

 

The product is shown already installed. is there is anyother solution in installscript to make per - user installation?  Any help is appreciated

I'm not entirely sure this can be done in InstallScript. At least you would need a manifest that tells the OS that this is a setup that doesn't require admin privileges so it won't display the UAC dialog.

thanks a lot stefan krueger, still i can't understand since i'm a begginer

Windows automatically checks for keywords such as "setup" when you launch a program and assumes that admin privileges are required, unless you add an application manifest that tells it otherwise.
