-----Original Message----- From: Phill Hogland [mailto:phogl...@rimage.com] Sent: Thursday, April 10, 2014 4:21 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] advertised install and user permissions I have a bundle with a number of msi pacakges, one of which has a feature which is advertised. Recently (probably because I changed something in the authoring) I am noticing a behavior where if I install the bundle, then after that completes successfully, click on the advertised shortcut, then the advertised package is installed. But the change in behaviour is that one of the registry keys produces a warning that the user does not have the correct permissions to write to that key. (The key location is in HKLM.) If I run the bundle again selecting 'repair' (with a verbose log) there is no warning and the key is written successfully. When the bundle launches the package the ALLUSERS is 1. Even though I am using InstallerVersion='500' and testing on Windows 8 x64, when I have MsiLogging=v* I don't get any additional information from the log produced by the advertised portion of the install, which only indicates that it failed to write this specific key. Can someone help my understand the problem and advise on the best approach for a situation were I want the install to be per-machine and I need to write to HKLM. Should I just disallow the advertised feature, or is there something else I should do?
