Hi guys, I have a question that will probably have a simple and obvious answer... I have built a WiX MSI, where registry keys are installed under HKCU, and the application is installed with the administrator account - it is required to run under minimal user privileges. When the 'underprivileged user' starts the application for the first time - Windows Installer must obviously create the HKCU keys for that user. What I don't understand, is that Windows Installer expects to find the MSI in the same location as when it was originally installed - network drive, USB memory etc. This is obviously a problem, when the user does not have access to any of those resources.
It was my understanding that the MSI is copied to some system folder, so that Repairs and Changes can be made from Add/Remove programs without needing the original MSI. Why isn't this copy of the MSI also used for setting up the new user? Thanks in advance!
