Hi there!
I dont want to swamp your board with a bunch of threads, i feel that i have done that already... I have some questions that i cannot find an answer for, maybe you can respond in context and keep everything to this single thread?
Registry
I want to add keys for existing users & future users. I originally used HKCU but thats not correct. What i need to so is 2 things
1. Add the keys for each existing user in HKU in the relative SID
2. Add a set of the same keys into HKU Default so that windows can use it as a template for any future logins.
I have a batch script that i can use to do this, my question on this is-
Is there anything built in that will allow me to this without using a batch or van i enter a batch code directly without a vbs?
alternatively
What is the right method to use that will allow me to fire the batch?
Im happy to share the batch file if it means it will help others and maybe some sort of integration unless there is already an existing way to do this?
Dialog
It looks like there is an option for me to prompt users to enter a username. This would be really helpful during the install. I can do this. My question on this is -
Is there a way to prompt the user on a first time install but ignore the prompt on a update?
Files & Folders
I have set my installer to be 'Per User Only'. What i have found is that i can only update by using the same user. If a different user on the machine tries to update, i get an error on no permissions. My question on this is-
What settings do i need to use that would allow any user to update . uininstall?
Update builds
It looks like the preferred method is to do a 'SaveAs' for every update iteration. Is this correct? I would like my workflow to be
first time install = full dialog for the installation
update = a simple progress bar showing the update
can this be done in the same installer or would it be better to make a separate update project? What i dont want is to manage a bunch of files between a full install & an update. I wont be using a patch unless there is a fix i need to do between version updates. in that case i would make a patch until the next release.
Thanks so much
