Hi,

I'm working on a basic msi project already written.
I use InstallShield 12 premier edition.

The installation needs admin rights and I would like simple user to install it without asking the administrator.

I found the AlwaysInstallElevated policy that should permit simple user.

But even with the two registry keys set, admin ritghts are still needed.
the message at the very beginning of the install is allways:
[ProductName] requires Administrative privileges. Your company policy may not allow installation of programs. Please contact your IT administrator to install this program.

I didn't find where this message is called.

What is the way to get rid of the admin rights ?

Thanks,

Search the msi file for this string. There may be a launch condition that incorrectly checks for AdminUser instead of Privileged
