Non-Admin installation on Vista

Hi,
I created simple MSI project.
The MSI installs one text file to the user profile , this action does not reuire admin privileges.

When I install the msi as admin - everything goes fine.
When I install the msi as non-admin, I get "User Account Control" which asks me to enter admin user and password. (attched the form).

What did I miss ? the setup does not try to do admin action, so why this screen annoy me ?

Thanks for any hint ! Gal.

Try selecting No for the Require Administrative Privileges setting, which is in the Summary Information Stream area of the General Information view. The default value is Yes, since most installations require admin privileges.

I hope that helps.

Thanks for your help.
I did change the default to "NO" but now I get other error (1925), please see attach picture.
The setup does not try do to anything that erquires admin privileges.
(All the setup is doing is installing .txt file to the temp directory)

Any idea about this error ?

Hmm. Is the installation setting the value of the ALLUSERS property? I think that in all new Basic MSI projects, ALLUSERS is set to 1 by default. You'd see that in the Property Manager view. Perhaps try changing the value or deleting that property and value.

Thanks, I changed the ALLUSERS property to 0 and it solved the problem.
