Users are not allowed to install and run software from their userprofile in restricted environments.

Expected Behavior

Installation should offer an installation to %ProgramFiles% (parameter ALLUSERS=1)

Current Behavior

Current installer tries to install the Application into the user profile

Context

Actually what would be best is an installer, which permist both options. There are cases where users are not allowed to make a system installation and where users are requested to make a per user setup.

What would be better?

@abhinayagarwal

  1. Would it be considerable to offer 2 MSI, one as per-user and the other one as per-system installation for Windows?
  2. Or would it be better to to have one MSI where the user could choose between system and per-user setup?

For option 2) we would have to modify the jpackage main.wxs template file. Out of the box jpackage only supports the one or the other, not both.

I can imagine, that as a short term solution, we could offer a 2nd MSI file.
