Launching WITHOUT elevated rights

Hi guys,

I'm using InstallShield 2008 Premiere for the deployment of my application. When the setup sequence is finished, I would like from the last dialog to open the current installed software, without elevated rights. I want it to run as if the user double clicked on the desktop icon.
This should be possible, no?

Best regards,
Daniel

If you are manifesting the Setup AsAdministrator then this should not be possible. Generally speaking, it's not advisable or intended that applications can lower their permission sets without explicitly impersonating another user.

You could probably write some form of custom DLL to load another user account and run the application as that user, but the default Windows Installer behavior will not support this scenario.
