I created a small Windows app, and am building a setup for it using NSIS, but what I can't find out is where to put the executables to conform to the new Windows security model.
Traditionally we put program files in, well, "c:\program files". With the security model getting more mangled with each Windows version, some users have restricted accounts, and I'm not sure installing into program files will work for these users.
Where can I install my program's files that will cater for these lower-privileged users?
Oh and I want to avoid ClickOnce.
4wouldn't this be better suited to Stack Overflow? it's a little gray area, but installer packaging is still a development question so i think it belongs there. i'll leave it up to the community; @KeyboardMonkey, flag for mod attention if you'd like us to go ahead and migrate it. – quack quixote – 2010-06-11T08:33:31.817
1I did consider posting on SO, however the question's not directly programming related, as I'm not asking about scripting or code specifically, but OS-related application/file structure and practices. – invert – 2010-06-17T08:53:10.357
