I have a Basic MSI project which I install logged in as a Admin. I have set the ALLUSERS property=1 which places the shortcuts in ALL Users folders. I have created keys under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. I also created power users to access this application

While logged in as Admin, I set the application path to point to a .mdb file located on the same machine. This path is stored in my registry key.

Now when I log in as a power user and click on the shortcut, the Window Installer configuration window pops up which resets the application path to default value="reset" instead of pointing to the path saved in registry key under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

I am using Windows Server 2003.

Is there any security issues related to accessing HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE?

Thanks
Rishi
