Creating a per user installation (isn't working)

I'm trying to create a smooth installation that will work for non admin users and I don't want users to be prompted to log on (or run as) an admin user during install.

I have the following setup in my project:

Installation Folder: [AppDataFolder][ProductName]
Installation Type: Per-user only

Execution level: As invoker - default

Launch conditions > "Run only if user has admin.." is not checked


Please can you help to stop the installer prompting for admin credentials?

Re: Creating a per user installation (isn't working)

Hello,

With the settings you mentioned, the package should work fine. The installed application should be available only for the user who installed it. On Windows Vista or above, with this option set the logged user will never be elevated to administrative privileges, so if the installation requires such privileges, it will fail.

Can you please send us the project file(.AIP) so we can see your settings?

All the best,
Mihai

Re: Creating a per user installation (isn't working)

Hi thanks for your response, my subject line is probably slightly misleading.

The issue I am facing is that users are being prompted to enter admin credentials when running the setup, I don't want this, please see attached screenshot. It should just perform the installation.

Where would you like the .aip file sending?

Re: Creating a per user installation (isn't working)

Hello,

It seems this issue is caused by the name of your built package. Just change the name of the output installer to anything other than "setup" or "install" and that dialog will go away.

All the best,
