.Net Windows Installer Custom Interface - Diff between Install and Administrative Install


I am creating a .msi file using visual studio. I would like to know the difference between Install and Administrative install in the custom interface.


Solution

  • a normal install is what you usually think of, an admin install copies the source image of the application to a network share or other location so that you can install copies from that share.
