Yes. Sorry I read this as you were trying to get a burn bundle to morph between per-user and per-machine.
It should be possible, but UAC brings in interesting challenges. A user could be an admin, but not ran elevated. I'd start by looking at https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa370852(v=vs.85).aspx and see if you can schedule an action to set the default option in the UI, but the issue is typically the UI sequence is ran un-elevated. -----Original Message----- From: Carles Pina i Estany [mailto:car...@pina.cat] Sent: Thursday, June 04, 2015 10:15 AM To: General discussion about the WiX toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] automatic selection perUser/perMachine installation Is BA a Bootstrapper Application (a .exe) in this context? I wanted to avoid a Bootstrapper application and just deliver the .msi, with the sensible defaults (perMachine if the user is an administrator or perUser otherwise).
