User Rights
I am working on an installer which has two version: one is norml install (shows window) and the other is for upgrading (run under silent mode).
During installation, we have an option to allow users to select "Allow this software to be accessible to all user on this PC", if selected, then we should create shortcuts for all users,
if deselected, then only create shortcuts for current user.
We want our application to run properly both on XP and Vista.
and I use RequestExecutionLevel admin
it seems to create shortcuts for all users?

any thoughts?


There is no real solution, using RequestExecutionLevel admin pretty much forces an all users install on vista.

If you want non admin users to be able to perform a "single user" install you need to use RequestExecutionLevel user, for more info see http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?threadid=265780
