Re: [WiX-users] Changed Package/@InstallPrivileges attribute

[Jan B. <bi...@gm...>]

Sorry for the wrong attribute name - i really meant InstallScope.
We've got own boostrapper application which executes msiexec.
We are executing one application (as a deferred CA with Impersonate 
attribute set to 'No') during the installation process to create a 
registry key with permissions for user who started the installation.
We didn't use InstallScope attribute (i assume that its default value is 
"perUser") before, but when we set it to "perMachine", then the key was 
not created with permissions for current user - this means that the 
application was not executed under his credentials.
How could InstallScope set to "perMachine" mess this up?

Thanks for any reply.

Regards,
Jan
