Re: Possible to run installer for non-admin but per-machine?

Hi,

A non-admin user cannot install in a per machine location.

On Vista or above, all users can gain administrator privileges through elevation.

The possible installation types are:
  • per user only
  • per user only( with administrator rights required )
  • per machine only( fails if user is not administrator )
  • per machine if user is administrator, per user otherwise
Here is the link to the Install Parameters page user guide reference with the installation types explained in more detail.

All the best,
Mihai
