Everyone or just me?

Isn't this just redundant: when you install a program you are presented with a dialog and two radio buttons "Install for Everyone / Just me". Who ever clicks on Just me? Isn't this redundant 99.9% of the time?

Yes, because Windows users are naive enough to always run their machines as Administrator. Perl combines all the worst aspects of C and Lisp: a billion different sublanguages in one monolithic executable. It combines the power of C with the readability of PostScript. -- Jamie Zawinski

You miread my post: I was pointing that the user that runs the MSI may not have enough privileges to do an installation for all the users. Official feature.

;P Chris Meech We're more like a hobbiest in a Home Depot drooling at all the shiny power tools, rather than a craftsman that makes the chair to an exacting level of comfort by measuring the customer's butt. Marc Clifton VB is like a toolbox, in the hands of a craftsman, you can end up with some amazing stuff, but without the skills to use it right you end up with Homer Simpson's attempt at building a barbeque or his attempt at a Spice rack.

You expect that something different is going to happen because you clicked a different button?

If you are using system based on TERMINAL SERVICE or your PC is shared with other poeple, it's useful to choose "who can use what". In my opinion, ALL the installation software must have that option/page - I'm talking from the system administration side. Of course, if you are working in a stand alone PC then it makes no big difference. :cool:
I agree.... mostly, but to be honest most of my married friends that run XP at home don't bother to set up seperate "user accounts" on XP. I guess maybe for attempting to restrict access to your kids...
