Msiexec can do many other things, like uninstall software or apply patches. InstallScript MSI uses the traditional InstallShield switches. Note: This product has been rebranded the 'Wise Installation System'. ![]() ![]() @liorafar An MSI is not an executable file, it is just a standard Windows Installer database that is loaded by an executable from the system, i.e. So the answer is unfortunately, no. The manifest which specifies the execution level can be only embed into an EXE bootstrapper that launches your MSI (by calling msiexec.exe in in the background and passing its execution level too). An MSI can only be executed as admin from an elevated command prompt if it is manually launched, but never by simply double clicking it. – Dec 3 '15 at 5:29 •. Hi All I have created an windows Installer [by using Visual Studio 2005 setup and deployment project] for my project (DLL); so with the help of installer i am throwing the dll to%appdata%; when we right click on the setup.exe and run it with Admin option then dll is copied to the Administrator's appdata and plug-In is installed for Administrator; but we need to install it for the user (Standard User) by whom account we are logged in and running setup.exe. As per our requirement we need to create an Installer with the help of Windows Installer; please suggest the way by that when we login into standard user account and right click on the setup.exe and run it with Admin option 'Run As Admin' then the dll must be copied to the Normal User%AppData% folder and not in the Administrator user%APPDATA% folder. Please suggest the way to achieve this functionality; In case this functionality cannot be achieved by the Windows Installer (VS2005 Setup and deployment project) then also suggest some other tool by which Installer of desired functionality can be created. Thanks Ashish. Hi Ashish, The correct approach is to design an installer which doesn't require Administrator privileges. This way the DLL will be correctly installed under the current user account. If you are not installing resources in per-machine locations (Program Files, HKLM etc.), all you need to do is make your package per-user. This is done by setting the ALLUSERS property to an empty string: However, if you want to install your package per-machine (for all users), you should use%ALLUSERSPROFILE% instead of%APPDATA%. Manually copying the files after installation is doable, but dangerous. Copied files are not handled by Windows Installer during an uninstall or repair, so you would need to handle them yourself. As a setup authoring tool I can recommend Advanced Installer (commercial) or Wix (free). Regards, Cosmin. ' Normal User%AppData% folder ' - What Normal User? Many (if not most) systems have multiple accounts, and in a domain literally anybody can log on. • That can also be provided the capacity to backup documents from the set of install software on the machine and the ability to restore them.

What happens when a new user is created? The app breaks because that Dll is missing in the new user's AppData folder? There are other reasons too - user profile folders can roam and be on a network share that the Administrator of the system has no access to. That's why there is no support for the idea that an Administrator can install something for some other 'normal user' of the system in some other folder.
