Install On Windows 7 Without Admin Rights On Computer
Hi all, Shouldn't Windows UAC prevent me from installing applications on my computer without Admin privileges? Even if the app installs for my account only, isn't this a security concern?
I just ran an MSI file (see link below) and was surprised that the application installed successfully without asking me for an Admin account. I've checked that I'm not already logged in as an administrator, and I can easily cause a UAC prompt to appear. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium, version 6.1, build 7600 I installed the following MSI file: http://download.southern-electric.co.uk/OnzoDownloader/onzo_uploader_latest.msi.
Exactly, as I was thinking, Setup.msi will require elevation if you want to install the files under C: Program Files or C: Program Files (x86) directory, this since these are protected and trusted directories. Setup.msi does NOT require elevation or bypassing the *.msi through UAC. It will install under this directory: C: Users AppData Local Onzo Onzo Uploader For setup installers to install under%appdata% directory, it will NOT require administrator privileges.
