visual studio 2010 - WiX Toolset: File extensions registering asking for feature install on different user -



visual studio 2010 - WiX Toolset: File extensions registering asking for feature install on different user -

i having problem wix installation in registering file extension because have tie every component feature, can't feature install "all users"?

specifically happening install msi under admin account. msi not located in shared location accessible users. extension appears register other users when other users click on file (with newly registered extension) open it, tries original msi first install feature. if msi found open installed application normal, otherwise errors. admin business relationship installed msi, not inquire install feature msi (even if delete msi before clicking on file extension)

i have set installlevel of features "1" , set typicaldefault "install" , installdefault "local". bundle set install @ machine level.

is there else needs set?

see if helps: troubleshooting unwanted self-repairs using event viewer

basically need understand why repair happening (which component key path ) , remediate it. alternatively wrap msi exe (wix burn) , cache msi in location users can access if repair needed.
