Hello,

I have a windows application that I want to deploy. I have built a msi package and setup.exe in vs2005. Our users are all on win xp pro, but maybe several are on w2k.

During the deployment testing of a randomly selected 20 clients, about half of them failed, but other half succeeded. And my network admin told me all the client machines have the same settings, and all the user accounts are created equally.

I got “you don’t have sufficient privilege to run this program on this machine�message on these failed machines when I tried to run the setup.exe from a network location and under user’s login.

If I logged in as admin AND selected Run this app for Everyone, then the install completed.

How can I make my install work the same way under user’s login? I want to grant my install higher privilege if that is needed, but how? Or I may have to change the user profile for those who failed, which my network admin is also OK, but again, where should I check and what should I change?

Thanks!

If setup.exe is installing prerequisites these will almost certainly require admin privileges.

The normal way for a non-administrator to get to install an MSI that requires admin privilege is to assign/publishthe MSI file for a per-machine 'Everyone" install using Group Policy.

Hi cound anyone tell me how to "to assign/publishthe MSI file for a per-machine 'Everyone" install using Group Policy. " step by step? Thanks!!!

It's basically this, except of course for the MSI file name.
