Hallo!

Is there a way to generate a .msi File for distribution from Microsoft
Visual Studio .NET 2003 which runs without having admin rights?

Thanx,

Hans
 
Whether it requires admin rights is pretty much up to you. If you write to
HKLM or secure file system locations, or do things that require privilege,
the user that does the install has to be privileged. MSI does not bypass
security. I don't *think* MSI files generated by VS contain anything that
always requires the user to be privileged. Organizations usually deal with
this by using things like SMS that let the MSI file get installed in managed
mode without requiring the end user to be privileged.
