[gameprogrammer] Re: cerating a "local install" for VC Express 2005

["richard sabbarton" <richard.sabbarton@gmail.com>]

Hi Roger,

I ran into this issue recently.  There are some good resources on
creating MSI installers.  MSIEXEC should run in the system context so
you should be able to install without the user having admin rights.

I resolved my problem just by including the manifest for my executable
in my project.  VC++ Express is good as it sorts that stuff out
itself.

I just installed the redist but you should be able to create an MSI
that includes it but doesn't need admin rights.

I am also looking for a solution that doesn't involve installing the
redist so I will let you know if I find anything.

Regards

Richard
