TestInsight installed only under admin user

[Former user]

TestInsight installer demand admin privileges for installation, because it installs to the Program Files folder. However it also registers the expert only for this user - admin. In our company (and I believe in many others) ordinary coder is not working under admin account, so he cannot see the expert. I solved the issue by GExpert - Expert manager, but it would be better to provide direct solution in the installer, i.e. uplifting the permissions only for file copy and not for expert registration.

This is a known issue with a lot of installers!

I can't remember if TI gives you the option where to install but if it does, get it to install some where privileges are not required, such as %APPDATA% . Yes, it is a hacky workaround but until the installers get updated so only privileges are asked when required, this issue will be with us for a while.

Unfortunatelly, even this hacky workaround does not work. Installer demands privileges immediatelly at the startup and changes Delphi registry keys only for admin user. You can change the path, but it will not solve the trouble with registery keys. I really ask for adaptation of the installer, this is on authors side. It would be great to use this super tool.

Version 1.1 will not ask for elevation on non admin users. However because without unreasonably much work put into it which I am not willing to spend the setup will not elevate for the copy file operations - that means you have to chose a different folder than program files. It will choose %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs as default if there is no prior installation of TI.
