Topic: Install this application for all computer users.

Dieses Thema ist veraltet und kann veraltete oder falsche Informationen enthalten.

I'm messing arround with your trial version and I'v found one thing that isn't nice about your installer. First you need to be an windows admin, that's the good way to be, but when installing on an admin account no shortcuts or start menu is created for the other non admin users of the pc and so no Virtual Dj folder is created for my other users.

Is there a sollution for that ?

Thank you,

you are not license to have other users use it i beleive
 

You mean that the licence only gives right to one user to use the software right ?

So one account, but how to manage to have a special account only for Virtual Dj on a pc that has restricted access on system settings etc.
 

I think one user on upto two machines, as long as you do not use them simultaneously. You've made a fair point about the installer requiring admin rights even though it is user specific, that is quite strange behaviour.

The program executables are installed to Program Files and the rest of the application and infact the bulk of the registry settings are saved to the User account; it may as well all be one way or the other.

In order to install the application as the desired user, Windows supports installing the program as the administrator but (I think) creating the shortcuts etc for the user. If you rightclick the installer there should be a Run As or similar option to allow this, which will then prompt for the admin password to allow setup.
 

I'v tried an install with run as and as user admin and it always saves (thats normal) in program files + in the administrator's my documents. What I didn't tried is to run it as admin from the shortcut. Lets have a try,

EDIT: Works when setting the shortcut in default desktop + running it as administrator when needed.
