Admin rights required for framework Installation ?

J

JCR

I searched the archives and web and could not find a definitive answer. I
am working on an installer (using Wise for Windows Installer) for the client
piece of a client/server application.

Question is: Will the clients need Admin Rights on their machines to
install the .Net framework if it isn't already present on their machine?
(My client app requires the .Net Framework 1.1 to run).

Thanks in advance.

Probably. Entries get added to the registry and stuff gets written to the
windows folder which you can't do as non-admin.
Try it out as non-admin and you'll have a definitive answer :)
