How to detect Everyone or Just Me installation setting in custom installer class

Within a custom installer class, how do I detect whether the user checked Everyone or Just Me?I need to create a registry key and itneeds to go under either the machine or user hive depending upon the user's selection. Thanks in advance for any ideas and/or suggestions!

Hi j2associates,

PhilWilson’s answer is correct. You can set the CustomActionData property like this: /IsAllUser=[ALLUSERS] . Then in the Installer class, you can get the custom action data with this code: string alluser = this.Context.Parameters["IsAllUser"].ToString()

Once user selects “Everyone�? the alluser string is �?�? When they select “Just me�? the alluser string is “�?

Below is the information about CustomActionData.

If you have any problems in doing this, please feel free to tell me.

Sincerely,
