Our installer needs Admin right to run. So a "Standard user" has to run the
installer "run as Admin". On the final page of the installer, we have a "Launch
application" option. So the user can check that option and launch the
application. Our application will ask a license key. The user inputs the
license key. But the key will be saved in "C:\Documents and
Settings\Administrator\Application Data" folder. Then the user exits the
application. And run the application again by using the normal "Standard user"
privilege. Then the application will ask the license key again, because the
license key wasn't saved in the right folder such as "C:\Documents and
Settings\JoeSmith\Application Data".
How to resolve this problem?
I'm thinking two options:
1. The user can "run as admin". But the application will be launched by using
"Standard user". This way, the license key input by the user will be saved in
the correct spot, namely, the users setting folder like "C:\Documents and
Settings\JoeSmith\Application Data". But how to do it?
2. If there is a way that the installer can detect this installation was from
"run as admin", then set a property. Then in the final page's launch
application option, we'll check this property. If it's set then we disable the
"launch application" option. This will stop the user "running the application
as admin" - they don't need to input license key two times. Is there a way to
detect if the installation "run as admin"?
By the way, we're using the code example from Wix.chm "How To: Run the
Installed Application After Setup" section.
Thanks in advance.
