Run installer under admin account, install for all users

There's not much to add to the subject. One of our clients runs a remote process to execute our MSI on approx. 100 PCs. The remote process which executes the installer runs under and admin account, and their end users log in to the PCs and run our software without elevated permissions.

I suspect I'm missing something obvious in the build of the installer but so far I haven't been able to identify the correct combination of settings to install for all users when the installer is run as an admin.

Any direction you can give would be much appreciated.

Re: Run installer under admin account, install for all users

Hello and welcome to our forums,

By default, in order to install an application for all the users, the Per-machine only (fails if the user is not administrator) installation type should be used in Install Parameters page

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
