.Net setup - all users on XP

[SpiderBear6]

Greetings all,

I have created a setup using .Net which includes the All Users or just current user selection part of the wizard. I thought that all this part did was decide whether the shortcuts for the software go in the All Users profile or the current user profile. However, on XP this doesn't seem to be the case. A user of a client of mine installed my software as Administrator and selected as current user. Now she can only run the software as Administrator otherwise she gets errors in the software. The client reckons that XP actually disables certain files depending on the user that has logged on.

Has anyone experienced anything similar or know anything about this situation?

Thanks.

If your client installed in on an administrator and she selected "Current User", it should only have the shortcuts etc. on that user. If she went to another user it would be in program files although there may be restrictions (since "current user&quot. If she was on a Limited Account it may prevent the program from running.

How about you test it on your computer, install as admin & "current user" then relogon as Limited and see what happens, then relogon as a different admin. Repeat this for installing that program as "All Users" and tell me what happens after those tests.

Hope it helps.

The shortcuts were there for the other user (other than admin). I'm going to try and take out that option in the setup and just set it up as all users if I can. It just seems weird that the program would just crash at some point in the normal user. I guess I need to find out whether the other user was a Limited Account or not.

Thanks 0CODE for replying.
