Are administrative rights needed to run the installer?
Hi,

Could anyone tell me if administrative rights are needed at the local computer where the installer prepared using NSIS is run. Basically the NSIS installer I am creating would be distributed to some companies. So I want to know if the computers where these installers are run would need to have administrative rights for it to install the application.

Many thanks.

Isn't depended on installer itself?
When a restricted user runs an installer which must modify files/folders/registry entries where admin rights are requiered, obviously the installation would fail.
