Hi,

Where does the Windows Installer store the runtime information like whether
the user has installed for Every One or not ?

Basically i am trying to find out whether a given Product installation is done
in 'Everyone' or 'Just for me' mode. Does windows installer store this
information somewhere in registry or some temporary file ?


Is it possible to determine if the current logged-on user has rights to Uninstall
or Upgrade a given product ?

Regards,
-Satish

You can call MsiGetProductInfoEx to get this information.
If the product was installed per-user by user A, and later user B starts the same setup, the Installed property will be False for user B.
