Right now, Rob is fixing the warnings that make ClickThrough really painful to use.  These were a result of recent schema changes.  It’s some pretty exciting changes because ClickThrough will utilize the same infrastructure as Heat.  I expect the innovation in this area to flourish once all the tools use the same underlying infrastructure because it allows improvements to be distributed to all tools built on top automatically (whereas previously tallow and ClickThrough used completely separate codebases).

 

ClickThrough is per-user because it installs to per-user locations (I believe it installs to the user’s app data folder).  It doesn’t install to any per-machine locations (like Program Files) which would require elevated privileges.  This means that users without administrative privileges can install the app since it won’t impact anyone but themselves.  But the really exciting part of ClickThrough is that it’s super-easy to create a simple installation that has the ability to automatically retrieve updates from the internet whenever the user runs your application.

Subject: [WiX-users] What makes ClickThrough per-user?

 

i've created a one file ClickThrough install and generated the wix file associated with it.

 

i'm wondering... what exactly makes this a per-user install?

 

i was unable to run the ClickThrough install due to compile errors but the wix file came out fine.
