"delete subfolders and files".
That should be checked as well, or wyUpdate will fall back on it's original behavior (asking for elevation to an admin user).
Cannot install as limited user
davidHi,
I would like to run updates under limited user accounts. I granted the user modification rights for the installation folder, but it still asks for elevation.
I can confirm that the limited user can add, delete, modify, rename files in the folder and its subfolders. He can also add, rename and delete folders.
I found out that if I check the "Full Access" box in windows folder properties, it does work. However, if I only check all other permission boxes it doesn't work (though the user can do all the stuff!)
I checked the effective permissions for the limited user: For files everything is checked except "full access" and "take ownership". For folders everything is checked except "full access", "take ownership" and "delete subfolders and files".
I tested on Win 7 Prof. 32bit. The application was originally installed by WiX/MSI.
Thank You!
davidI can confirm that. But I dont' think it is correct behaviour.
The default windows behaviour seems not to set this option. But it doesn't really matter in my opinion, because when all subfolders and files inherit the permissions from the base folder where I granted the user permissions, I can still "delete subfolders and files" - no matter what this checkbox states.
I can't tell my users to go into the deep submenus to set this checkbox, so I'll have them set full acces for now. Which is unforunate because the product is already deployed and I was hoping to update it without work for the admins.
Anyways, it would be really nice if that will be fixed in a future version. 🙂 Thanks!
