Hi,
As part of stress testing the latest beta I ran the MSI through a
validator. The results were very surprising. Unlike many other MSI
installs that I have run recently, the errors and warnings were
remarkably few in number and severity. Here is what I found:
Validation started at 4/13/2006 8:54:36 AM ...

ICE57 ERROR Component 'dbtw.exe' has both per-user and per-machine
data with a per-machine KeyPath.
ICE57 ERROR Component 'brlbld.exe' has both per-user and per-machine
data with a per-machine KeyPath.
Validation Completed. InstallShield Tuner has detected the following for
dbt-1006beta5.msi - 0 info(s) 3 warning(s) 14 error(s)
Of these messages, the only thing that I find interesting is the "Admin
Image" warning. As I routinely install MSI packages with user
privileges, the first item that I do is create a transform that removes
the requirement for the install to be run as an administrator (remove 1
line from the LaunchCondition table). For most installations this still
installs correctly. I will attempt this with this beta later today. Is
there any reason that this install needs to be run as an administrator?
Thank you very much for the hard work!
