I create a installscript project with only copy one file into application folder,
the installation is finished without error, but when I use the windows account of user group, an error 80040706 occurs !

But when I use MSI project, if I don't register dll, the windows account of user group can install without any error.

Where I can modify to let installscript project can be installed use the windows account of user group ?

Restricted users don't have write access to ProgramFilesFolder and subfolders thereof (unless you modified the permissions). Therefore restricted users won't be able to copy files there, not with InstallScript neither with MSI. So there must be something different.
Note that an administrator can enable a restricted user to install msi based setups with "elevated privileges" which will enable him to copy files there. Maybe that policy is set on your set machine?

In my simple InstallScript projects

I have only copy one file and set the TARGETDIR to c:\TEST11, no shortcut is set.
I log on as Restricted users then install,
during copying data....., an error 0x80040706 object reference isn't set.

How can debug this error ?
I don't see any file copied into ProgramFilesFolder and subfolders.

Help !

I trace the script then found the error happens in FeatureTransferData,
how can I know which files cause the error ?

Help ! Thanks.

Not sure what's causing this exact error message. However I'm pretty sure that a restricted user is not allowed to write to c:\TEST11 or qnywhere else except his own user profile folder (plus shared folders and things like the temp folder)
