Install .net com component without administrative rights

[tzachk]

Hi,

I need to create a web based msi installer that shall register a .net COM component (regasm) for the current user.
I don't expect the end user to have administrative rights on his machine, thus the registration should write to current user.

Any ideas?

Regards,

Dear Tzachk,

... Admin privileges are required to allow Regasm.exe to update the registry.
If UAC is enabled there isn't too much to do.

Hi Francesco,

It is doable even with UAC as long as you write to HKCU.

Dear Tzachk,

... but NET runtimes are installed per machine and not per user and for what I know, they can be installed per machine only.
