No buttons showes in Add/Remove panel if I'm a normal user!
In XP SP2.
When I run the installation using a normal user account, an dialog prompt "ask for administration right", and then I input the administrator account and password to continue the installation and install the product successfully.
Still in the normal user account, I found there's a Remove button in Add/Remove panel.
What I want is:
1. When I login as Administrator, there is a Remove button in Add/Remove panel.
2. When I login as Normal-User, there isn't any button in Add/Remove panel.
How to implement it?
Thanks.

I guess it should be implemented automatically, u do something wrong.
Are u sure that Normal-User doesnt present in Administrator group?
if u want to remove "Repair" button from a testuser u have to use
ARPNOREPAIR = 1

Thanks, Scaazy:
I‘m sure that the Normal-User does'nt present in Administrator group but in User group, and I found the "GoogleToolbar for Internet Explorer" also have a Remove button.
So I think it's not implemented automatically that no Remove button for Normal-User account.
By the way,
you said that "if u want to remove "Repair" button from a testuser u have to use
ARPNOREPAIR = 1",
How to use ARPNOREPAIR = 1, in which function? OnBegin() or OnFirstUIBegin() or the others?
Thanks very much.

hjsunj,
I am not sure how the Google Toolbar allows this, but what you are describing is normal. A normal user account is prohibited from uninstalling most applications. An administrator can set a registry entry to allow users to uninstall applications.

My guess is that you need to create a per-user install, and all files must be installed in a per-user location. Then each user can install and uninstall applications as needed. This is the only way that I can see the ARP Change/Remove button being visible to a standard user.

I do not know if this is the same issue or not, but I have an install that will show the Remove button correctly on a first time install, but if the install is ran over our previous version it will perform a minor update and everything looks correct, but the Remove button on the Add/Remove dialog box will not be there.
What would be causing my minor upgrade mode to have that button disappear?
Since this particular install is an InstallScript msi project is there anything that I can set in my script to have that button replaced or better yet not disappear in the first place?
Any help would be appreciated.
