on my work station (win xp) i have an admin acoount and a limited user account.
as an admin, i can install and uninstall the basic msi package that ive made.
i logout then login as a limited user, i cant install and uninstall my package.
is there a way that i can install the basic msi package that ive made using a limited user account?

Have the administrator advertise the package. Or allow the limited user to install elevated (setting the AlwaysInstallElevated policy for both the user and the machine).

so..can i set the "allow limited user to install elevated (setting the AlwaysInstallElevated policy for both the user and the machine)." in the installer itself?
or will i set it in the registry?
is there any way that i will make an installer that can be installed in a limited user account?
im using an installshield 12.
Can i use this property in the general information product properties?
Install Condition
Condition = Privileged Message = "not installed"
or will i set it in the registry?

No, that would defeat the purpose of this security measure.

Either using Group Policy Editor or directly in registry.

Yes but it's not easy. Make sure you install the files where the user has write access, i.e. in his user profile folder. Don't write to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE in registry but only to HKEY_CURRENT_USER.

This would prevent instalaltion if the user is not privileged (i.e. a restricted user and the packages hasn't been advertised nor has the user been elevated)
