Change the perms for them......
What you can do is:
1. For them to install as admin by making a launch condition of adminuser with text of "you must be admin... " or "you are not worthy....
2. add registry permissions in the lock perm table.
In your registry component, right click and add a MSIvalue to each tree. I do it to a data value in each tree. then in the lock perms table, enter something like.
Lockobject = MSILOCK1
Table = Registry
Group =
User = Everyone
Permission = 268435456
It is really not that hard. Some frown upon this sort of thing, but it gets the job done. If you dont use the MSIvalue as the primary key, then you can look in the registry table in ORCA and all the entries will be listed as registry1, registr2, etc. You could use those, but if you ever add keys to the install, all the numbers get reset, so use the msivalue key
see lockpermissions in the Windows Installer help, no ISWI
