I have a Basic MSI project that installs some dlls to a location say "C:\Program Files (x86)\CompanyA\Service". The folder access permissions restricts access to standard account (non administrator). Now I launch the application using a standard account, which doesn't uses the DLL's in the above said location. But due to the resiliency feature of InstallShield, it tries to check the components. As the above component is not accessible it starts self repairing process showing a dialog "Please wait while windows configures ProductA" .
Is there any option to turn off this resiliency feature? Or Is there any way to hide the Re-installation dialog?
Please suggest if we have any other solution for the above problem.
you can put a install condition on your components to validate the
Privilegedproperty and not install those particular components on the machine. that way the installer will not think it have missing parts.you can install it elsewhere, where you have the right to.
MSI 5.0 have a feature to make a dual purpose package that can be install as user or as admin.
you can also deploy the dll as a support file and copy it via a batch files. (not a best practice but it could work)
