Admin Rights

I am trying to create a package that will install without the user have admin rights. I have not checked the "Run only if user has administrator privelage" box.

Any help will be appreciated

Hi,

In order to create an installation which doesn't require administrator privileges, the package must meet these conditions:
- in the "Install Parameters" page you set the "Installation Type" to "Per-User"
- in the "Files and Folders" page you make sure that all the files of your installation are placed in per-user locations
- in the "Registry" page you create keys only under HKEY_CURRENT_USER
