Install Shield Administrator Authority Setting Function Question

[chobyeongseong]

Hello

I have a question about using the installshield product.

Including installshield
Generated config file
Install and

When running the installed subentry file

Is there an option to always run as administrator?

I would appreciate your reply.

Hi @chobyeongseong,

You can change the "Required Execution Level" setting for the setup.exe to "Administrator" to execute the setup exe in Administrator mode.

More information can be found at the below link:

Is it possible to set administrator rights related to the files installed by

executing the configuration file other than the configuration file created by installshield?

What I was wondering about is whether the internal files installed together

with the generated config file will run as administrator.

Hi @chobyeongseong,

No, InstallShield only add the execution level setting for the InstallShield generated setup.exe. 

if you want to add to the payload files, you have to embed the manifest  file or need to change the option in visual studio linker while building the application.
