Not quite. There are two things at play here: the ALLUSERS property and the "don't elevate" flag.
If you set InstallPrivileges to "elevated" the flag is not set (the default). If you set InstallPrivileges to "limited" the flag is set. Nothing is done wrt the property with this attribute. If instead you set the InstallScope property, then the following happens: If it is set to "perMachine", the property is set to "1" and the flag is not set. If it is set to "perUser", the property is not created and the flag is set. In perUser packages, you want the flag set and the property not created. In perMachine packages, you want the property set and the flag not set. Thus, the InstallScope attribute does it all, and you don't need to worry about the flag or the property being set correctly (for non Win7-only switching packages). -----Original Message----- From: Markus Karg [mailto:markus.k...@gmx.net] Sent: Thursday, November 05, 2009 1:02 PM To: 'General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.'
