Qt Installer Framework -- install for non-admin user

panosk

Hello,

I'm trying to figure how to install my application under a local non-admin user on Windows. If the user is also an admin, all works fine. Otherwise, the user paths are messed, the application entry is not added to Add/Remove Programs, and generally the installation is problematic. Here is my config:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Installer>
    <Name>MyApp</Name>
    <Version>1.0.1</Version>
    <Title>MyApp Installer</Title>
    <Publisher>MyCompany</Publisher>
    <StartMenuDir>MyApp</StartMenuDir>
    <TargetDir>@ApplicationsDirX64@/MyCompany</TargetDir>
	<InstallerWindowIcon>installericon</InstallerWindowIcon>
	<InstallerApplicationIcon>icon</InstallerApplicationIcon>
	<Logo>logo.png</Logo>
	<WizardStyle>Modern</WizardStyle>
	<WizardDefaultWidth>820</WizardDefaultWidth>
	<WizardDefaultHeight>440</WizardDefaultHeight>
</Installer>

And here is the script:

function Component()
{
    // default constructor
}

Component.prototype.createOperations = function()
{
    component.createOperations();
	if (systemInfo.productType === "windows") {
        component.addOperation("CreateShortcut", "@TargetDir@\\MyApp.exe", "@StartMenuDir@\\MyApp.lnk",
            "workingDirectory=@TargetDir@", "iconPath=@TargetDir@\\MyApp.exe",
            "iconId=0", "description=MyApp");
		var createDir = ["cmd","/c","mkdir","%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%\\AppData\\Roaming\\MyCompany\\MyApp"];
		var deleteDir = ["cmd","/c","rmdir","%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%\\AppData\\Roaming\\MyCompany\\MyApp","/s","/q"];
		component.addOperation("Execute",createDir,"UNDOEXECUTE",deleteDir);
		
		var regargs1 = ["cmd","/c","reg add","HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\MyCompany\\MyApp"];
		var regargs2 = ["cmd","/c","reg delete","HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\MyCompany\\MyApp","/f"];
		component.addOperation("Execute",regargs1,"UNDOEXECUTE",regargs2);
		component.addOperation("Execute", "{0,3010,1638,5100}", "@TargetDir@\\vc_redist.x64.exe", "/quiet", "/norestart");
		component.addOperation("Delete", "@TargetDir@\\vc_redist.x64.exe");
	}
}

Any help will be greatly appreciated!
