[WiX-users] Detect perUser install from perMachine install (Launch condition)

2012-09-24 Thread Dirk Ziegelmeier

I don't think this would be a bitness issue. Can you provide the fragment for assigning the ACLs? From what I remember, when applying an explicit ACL, you need to tell it to be inheritable. Open up regedit on your clean machine post install and look at the base key that you set the permissions
