Currently the default is to install only for the current user.\r\n* If the user who executes the installer has no admin permissions, the current preset option to install for the current user is correct. But currently the installer offers you also the option to install for all users (when clicking the Advanced button). This will of course fail. So if the user does not have admin permissions the option to install for all users must be disabled"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/jgm/pandoc/issues/comments/184612274","html_url":"https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/2708#issuecomment-184612274","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/jgm/pandoc/issues/2708","id":184612274,"user":{"login":"donovaly","id":1828501,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1828501?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/donovaly","html_url":"https://github.com/donovaly","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/donovaly/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/donovaly/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/donovaly/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/donovaly/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/donovaly/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/donovaly/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/donovaly/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/donovaly/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/donovaly/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-02-16T10:22:43Z","updated_at":"2016-02-16T10:22:43Z","body":"> We switched to WiX specifically so we could create an msi for the installer.\r\n\r\nWhat do you mean? For the user and the functionality if the installer is a  stand-alone executable or a Windows installer package. There are different competitors on the market. Windows installer is one of them, NSIS is another one. The important thing is that you can easily build in the features you need and that you can easily maintain the installer in case there are bug reports.\r\nNSIS has hereby the advantage that it is OpenSource and that bugs are fixed quickly due to an active community. If WiX suits your needs then of course use it. However, from the reply to my bug report I got the feeling that you don't know how to correct the bug in the existing WiX installer. And therefore I came up with an installer that fixes the problem and that shows some further improvements. It is your decision what to use as long as it fixes the bug."}}
