Description Sandy Stutsman 2014-09-25 14:53:32 UTC

Description of problem:
If the ALLUSERS property is not specified the resulting msi is part perMachine, part perUser.  The package requires Admin privileges to install and sets the target installation directory to be in the standard "Program Files" location but puts the Application Shortcut down the \users\'admin user'\AppData\Roaming\.... \Start Menu\Programs path.  That makes it somewhat inaccessible to other users regardless of their privilege level.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
msitools-0.93.40-1.fc20.x86_64
virt-viewer-0.6.0

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.From a user with Admin privileges, run virt-viewer.msi
2.Verify that that shortcut exists in the start menu.  Note the location of the shortcut (under general of the shortcut properties).
3.Logon to another user.  Note that the Application shortcut doesn't show up on the Start menue

Actual results:
The application short cut doesn't appear on the start menu for any user other than the one that installed the package

Expected results:
The package should be installed perMachine with a short cut on all users' start menu.

Additional info:
There is a workaround. If ALLUSERS="1" is specified in the wxs file, the package is installed properly.
