How to install programs only for certain users?

[Hubert Felber]

Hello,

Is there a way in XP professional to install programs only for the current
user? We have several users on the machine and I don't want to see the
programs from a different user in my environment. Currently, if a user
installs a program it is automatically installed for every user on the
machine.

Thanks for helping

Regards
Hubert

Thanks, but this works only for msi installations, doesn't it? What if I
have a Installshield Setup to install a program? How can I make per user
installations with different installation programs?

Yes, Hubert. That's applicable for MSI packages only.

You may check with http://www.installshield.com/ support if it allows
per-user, system-wide custom installation.
