Ticket #1837, comment 4
initial v1 4 4 The question is whether NSIS supports that without requiring elevated permission to even launch the installer, which I believe was always the argument against defaulting to Program Files. Does it know whether the chosen install location requires permission to be granted for the current user? 5 5 6 I think the convention on Windows is to not care much about user account management or security and just run everything as an administrator (though in Vista+ you still need to pass UAC), and not worry about limited accounts being unable to install software without having someone else come enter apassword, and to dump everything in a system-wide location without even considering per-user installations. Which all seems like a terrible convention to me, I'm OK with breaking from it :)6 I think the convention on Windows is to not care much about user account management or security and just run everything as an administrator (though in Vista+ you still need to pass UAC), and not worry about limited accounts being unable to install software without enter an admin's password, and to dump everything in a system-wide location without even considering per-user installations.
