Restricting Uninstallation to users
Hi,
I want to restrict the uninstallation of a program by looking at who is triggering the uninstallation.
The program can be installed in two modes : for All Users, or for the logged in user.
Now, what I want is, if the program is installed for All Users, everybody should be able to uninstall. But if the program is installed for a particular user, only he/she should be able to do it.
This has to be checked some where in OnMaintUIBefore. But I dont know how to check for which users the application is installed.
Any idea how to resolve the problem ?
Thanks

Surely if the program has been installed for a specific user only that logged on user will be able to see the program in the ARP and be able to uninstall it?
