Mixing the per-machine and per-user features

[shetty_rohan]

Question: Is it possible to mix per-machine feature and per-user feature in one installer?

In my installer, I need to support two features
1) Telephony Service Provider(TSP) : This needs to be installed as the per-machine. This limitation is because of the Microsoft, which expects the TSP to be installed as per-machine(because it stores the registry keys in HKLM).
2) Softphone: this needs to be installed as the per-user

Do let me know if you need any clarifications.

Hi,

In order to achieve what you want, you can create Softphone package per-user and add TSP as prerequisite in this package.

So, when an user will install your application, it will also install TSP prerequisite per-machine, then when another user will install the application, he will no longer need to install the TSP application again (because it was installed per-machine), he will install only Softphone application which is per-user.
