I've got some machines that after a minor upgrade,
unprivileged users unexpectedly get MSI launching a dialog saying that
"the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is
unavailable". Administrators do not see the message. The installer was
run as Administrator. I assume it is because some features have been
installed as Advertised rather than Local. In my installer however, I
have marked all my features with AllowAdvertise="no", so
It's probably an automatic repair. Check the System event log to
see which component MSI thinks is broken.
Bob,
Thanks for the pointer.
It's an HKCU registry key that would have been created for the user who
installed the application, but obviously not the user who is running. Is
this the default behaviour for a key in HKCU even if the feature is not
advertised?
In this case, it doesn't matter if the settings are not available for
the current user, and I would prefer MSI just to ignore these keys.
Also, is this the expected behaviour? I thought that a copy of the MSI
was stored away in c:\Windows\Installer, so why is the system not able
to use that one rather than looking for the original .msi file that the
bootstrapper dropped into the temp directory.
Regards,
John
