Also (for Don) ARP isn't an "Admin" place in a per-user install. There are things that MSI will do on your behalf (like add entries into ARP) that work fine in a per-user install. Per-user COM registration from the Class table goes into HKCU too, I guess I'm trying to say that if you stay away from explicitly trying to install services, registry entries and files into "Admin" locations, you don't need to worry about the Admin things that MSI does on your behalf, so that there is (for example) an entry in ARP for that user.

For example, if a user installs an application only for themselves, another user (even an administrator) cannot later uninstall the application.

If you look at the output from ClickThrough, you'll find totally per-user packages. _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Don Tasanasanta Sent: Tuesday, June 06, 2006 2:44 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] installer without admin permissions Is it possible to create a WiX install that does not require admin permissions to run and install "something."
