    Resolved Inno settings for 'all users' or 'just this user'?

    Hi,

    Does anybody know if it is possible to get Inno to offer the option to install an app for 'all users' or 'just this user'.

    As always, I appreciate any help.

    Perhaps I should have said that I tried posting this question in the Application Deployment some time back but had no replies.

    Sorry for posting on the wrong forum but I am desperate to resolve this.

    You will probably get a quicker answer in the InnoSetup news group.

    This will place your file in the All Users directory:
    Source: C:\MyPrograms\Test.txt; DestDir: {commonappdata}\Test

    (Substitute your directories and file names of course)

    If you use the third party software ISTOOL, under files and directories it will give you a drop down of all possible directories....making it tons easier.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks for the reply VB4fun.

    I was really looking for something that gives an install time option that the user clicks so that (if they have sufficient priveleges) they have an option (check box) that allows them to install my app for all users or just the launching users.

    I have seen this on some application installations and thought that it would be a neat idea for my latest app.
