I have an application that basically copies files to various locations on the users system, such as the Program Files and Public Documents folders. My application runs inside of another, so I don't need Start Menu entries or shortcuts. The problem with this approach is Windows permissions, especially with Windows 10. Often my application is denied copying the needed files. This brought me to using Advanced Installer, however I am still seeing the same issues. My application does everything I need, so if I can figure out how to deal with the permission issues it would be great.
I am also seeing that Advanced Installer runs my setup program twice, not sure why that is. I have saved the folder that I have been distributing with my setup program and the needed files to be copied to the Target Computer > Application Folder. The application I run inside of may have several version installed, so my application prompts the user for the desired version, which is why I can't just select a location in the Program Files 64 option for my files.
Any thoughts?
