Not able to use "Per-machine if the user is an administrator, per-user otherwise" install type

Mon Jan 04, 2021 8:10 am

I am currently using a trial version of advanced installer. I've created a professional installer project. From the list of available install type options:

I have selected the last option:

In the documentation, it says that we need to select InstallTypeDlg in order for this option to work. https://www.advancedinstaller.com/user- ... eters.html
However, this dialog is not present in dialogs page.

When I install the msi created using the above parameters with my non-admin account, it asks for admin credentials. Can someone please help me out with this?

Hello and welcome to Advanced Installer forums,

Please note that you need to add the InstallTypeDlg dialog from our predefined list of dialogs:

Please let me know if you need any help.

InstallTypeDlg is not present in my list of pre-defined dialogs as shown in the screenshot posted by me above.

Hello,

Indeed, this dialog is not automatically added. You need to add it from the predefined list of dialogs. Use the Add Dialog option as you can see in my printscreen.
