Per-user file association

Hello,

It is possible to create per-user file associations for Vista / 7, so the installer can be run without admin privileges.

Thanks,

Eric

Hi Eric,

You can set your package type to per-user from the install parameters page. The extensions will then be per user. Just make sure all files are installed in per-user location, like in the "Application Data" folder.

Best regards,
Gabriel

Re: Per-user file association

Thanks for you response.
This doesn't work as the installer tries to write to a protected registry key for the file association. The error message is:
"Cannot write to:
\SOFTWARE\Digitope\AudioEditor\Capabilites\FileAssociations"
I think I need to change the file association capabilities path in Advanced Installer, which is SOFTWARE, but I don't know the right key.
