i have tried creating a simple one file install that installs to appdata only and has no registry entries but i can't get it to install with user only access. i keep getting the same error:

"This installation is forbidden by system policy. Contact your system administrator."

Does a verbose log have more details?

so i was wondering what elements/tags in the clickthrough project allow it to install with user access only.

Per-user installs don't require any magic -- they're the MSI default, actually. I tested it on XP with a limited-user account.
