Windows installation
Issue #239
on hold
Is it intentional that valentina on windows is installed per-user only? Is it due to still being beta software? Otherwise I would propose the user can chose if he wants to install it per machine ("for all users"), i.e. in c:\program files (x86)\valentina or per user (like it is now).

That means it is intentional? I know that there might be some good reasons for UAC and agree, that sometimes, especially on Windows it is a good thing to let users only mess arround in there own user space. But it should at least be arbitrary - admin access presumed - to install per machine or not. Still we are talking about a multi-user system.

Yes.But it should at least be arbitrary - admin access presumed - to install per machine or not. Still we are talking about a multi-user system.
If someone will propose solution, we definitely take it. Right now i don't know way how to make this in NSIS. -

Allright, I agree in this case it is better the way it is - especially for beta software. I have not worked with NSIS (only Inno and WiX), but I guess it should be possible. One day...:)

NSIS it is only one possible way. I don't care what system we will use for installer.
Can we close issue?

Yeah, but for the existing installer is allready based on NSIS it would possibly be the least amount of work to do. Close? Or set on hold/change it into a feature request? You decide.

Agreed that this should be on hold. This issue is important, but it's not urgent.
