FWIW, the MSI team recommends against ALLUSERS=2 because it's so hard to get all the details right. On Vista, the bit that determines whether you have to elevate is set in the summary information stream and can't be changed at install time. So the benefit of not having to elevate with a per-user app is lost. > What I sadly don't know is how to determine what the users privileges are. > Is there something I can query and build a conditional statement from? You can use the Privileged property but be aware that on Vista with UAC enabled, it's always set. > I'm also assuming I can go changing ALLUSERS from 2 to 0 You need to delete ALLUSERS, not set it to 0.

WiX makes it possible to use the same source to generate multiple packages via <?ifdef> and other preprocessor statements. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
