Don't do anything which needs to access per-machine areas of the system & you'll be fine =)

My apologies, I was more than just a tad fuzzy. I was rationalising my decision to opt for a perMachine installer. If it runs as a perUser installer, then obviously certain parts will be missing. The root of my question is: How should I write the installer so that it acts as perUser for those who can't be elevated to admin? -- Rune ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Xperia(TM) PLAY It's a major breakthrough.
