I understand the difference between a standard user and an administrator. My question was directed towards Installaware, if it has functionality to support this.

is it possible to create an installer that is ran by a standard user, without prompting for an administrator password? All while UAC is enabled?

Hello, I have demo'd InstallAware and InstallShield. Coming from a wise scripting background, I believe IA will be the easiest transition to make to rebuild all of our wrappers. One question that was brought up was, what is the adoption rate of IA vs IS? What well known enterprise uses IA in their e...

That worked PERFECTLY!

thank you!

Hello, I would like to understand patching a bit more than what is described in the help file (which I have read). I have an application that is built numerous times during the life cycle. We have the base install plus XX patches. 1. User runs the base install. 2. New build is released, user patches...

Hi,

I set this to ALWAYS and when I do an installfile it still prompts the user. Also, Shift F9 is not building my project

Hello, I am seeing an issue when running a read from file command within a for each routine. It looks like the variable is not updating when a read from file is called. Here is my code. ~InstallAware Clipboard Data~ ~Wend~ ~{B89F7EFB-353B-4DB5-A7FD-6AC5E7B5FEB1}~ ~Next~ ~{E3996076-FF25-46CD-9F27-C9B...

Any progress on this?

Can you post an example on how i will call that?

The whole purpose of the routine is to retrieve the return value of the GetLastError function when calling CreateFileA. If the return value is ERROR_SHARING_VIOLATION or 32 (0x20), I can determine the file is being used. I have tried the new code you posted and it doesnt look like its working for me...

Hello,

Is there a plugin/action to check if ntuser.dat is in use? I would like to edit the file if not in use.

Thank you for the reply, but once the installer is elevated as a different user, will this write to the elevated user hive?
