i have tried creating a simple one file install that
installs to appdata only and has no registry entries but i can't get it to
install with user only access. i keep getting the same
error:
"This installation is forbidden by system policy. Contact
your system administrator."
so i was wondering what elements/tags in the
clickthrough project allow it to install with user access
only.

fixing the warnings that make ClickThrough really painful to use. These
were a result of recent schema changes. It’s some pretty exciting changes
because ClickThrough will utilize the same infrastructure as Heat. I
expect the innovation in this area to flourish once all the tools use the same
underlying infrastructure because it allows improvements to be distributed to
all tools built on top automatically (whereas previously tallow and ClickThrough
used completely separate codebases). ClickThrough is
per-user because it installs to per-user locations (I believe it installs to the
user’s app data folder). It doesn’t install to any per-machine locations
(like Program Files) which would require elevated privileges. This means
that users without administrative privileges can install the app since it won’t
impact anyone but themselves. But the really exciting part of ClickThrough
is that it’s super-easy to create a simple installation that has the ability to
automatically retrieve updates from the internet whenever the user runs your
application. Derek From:

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Don Tasanasanta i've created a one file ClickThrough
install and generated the wix file associated with
it. i'm wondering... what exactly makes
this a per-user install? i was unable to run the ClickThrough
install due to compile errors but the wix file came out fine.
