Look in the Application Event log for an MsiInstaller entry, basically a repair for something that's probably user-profile related. The issue isn't so much admin or not, it's just that another user is trying to reference something that's user profile related, it isn't there, so the repair/resilience kicks in to install it. This propagates up to the containing feature, so your driver component is in the same feature as a user profile item, something like a file in a user profile folder.

As the user doesn't have the necessary rights to install this driver this is quite annoying, especially as this isn't even needed (the driver works without this additional step). So is there a way to prevent Windows installer from re-installing the driver when a normal user uses my application?
