Changing from CURRENTUSER to ALLUSERS

Postby jmrunyan » Mon Sep 30, 2019 1:37 pm

We created an installer with CURRENTUSER=TRUE. We want to switch it to ALLUSERS=TRUE in the next version.

Will the installer remove it from the users appdata and install it in the public location?

Thanks,

John

It doesn't exist any CURRENTUSER pre-defined variable.
ALLUSERS: Initially TRUE if platform is NT, FALSE if not. Set to TRUE to perform an installation for all users and FALSE to perform an installation for the current user only.


The new installer will detect the previous installation, only if this is then executed under the same account used to install the previous one. Finally to complete the new installation for all users, this must be an administrative account.
