i have a problem when trying to install a software from .msi file. the software is MS ActiveSync 4.5
during the instalation i receive "1: ALLUSERS property is not 1 - this MSM cannot be used for a per-user or fallback-to-per-user-install" message and cannot continue.
I read what i could find here about this message but all threads are reffering to different problem it seems.
It sounds like the installation has been authored to run for all users on a machine rather than the option just for me. But strangely it sounds like it's defaulted the other way. I presume you've extracted this from a setup.exe to be able to deploy it and the setup.exe passed through the all users property for you.
Run the installation like this and see what you get:
msiexec /i "" ALLUSERS=1
You may also be missing other properties that the setup is passing through though so it may be trial and error
