I have been tasked with writing a installer for an .NET application (consisting
of a few DLLs and an exe) such that I can install it for a user that does not
have admin rights. Presumably this means doing a per-user install of the
application. I simply need to install the application files and create a
desktop/start menu shortcuts for the user. In addition, the application is
based on .NET 3.5 so I will need to detect if it already installed on the
machine, and if not, install it (or tell the user how to do it).
Does anyone see any potential problems/issues here?
Are there any guidelines about how to do a per user install (eg, things like
Install app files to location X, create shortcuts in location Y etc.)?
What is the easiest/standard way to deal with the .NET framework installation
issue? Do I need admin rights to even detect whether the correct version is
already installed?
I did try googling around for answers to some of these (there is a load of
stuff out there) but I couldnt find anything that answers my basic questions.
I apologise if these questions come up again and again.
Thanks
sanjay
