Hi,
we use Setup Factory for our setups. During setup the user can choose to install the add-in for the current user or for all users. Depending on his selection we call adxregistrator.exe with 'privileges=user' for a current user installation via HKCU or with 'privileges=admin' for an all users installation via HKLM. This doesn't work because we have 'RegisterForAllUsers' set to 'False' to avoid an all users installation even if the user selects a current user installation. If i set 'privileges="administrator"' in adxloader.dll.manifest, it works, but this file is updated on compile and resetted to 'privileges="user"', so the next time i compile my setup it again doesn't work. Or with other words: Even if adxregistrator.exe is called with 'privileges=admin' it doesn't register for all users if adxloader.dll.manifest has 'privileges="user"'. Is there a way to avoid manually changes to adxloader.dll.manifest every time i have to compile my setup? Thanks for any hints...
BTW: Would be nice to simply have two switches more for adxregistrator.exe: for e.g. /current to register via HKCU or /all to register via HKLM...__________________

Hi HJB,
Thank you for the suggestion.
Consider using a copy of adxloader.dll.manifest or editing it in a pre-build or post-build event.

Hi Andrei,
we have 250+ add-ins and exactly as many setups, changing them for dealing with individual manifest files would be a work of days or weeks. I got around this with a routine in a global function included/called by all setups that changes the manifest file as needed:
-- Register Add-In-DLL via ADXRegistrator.exe
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
if (AllUsersInstall == 1) then -- All users
-- Modify manifest file
local sManifestFile=SessionVar.Expand("%AppFolder%\adxloader.dll.manifest");
local sTmp= "";
sTmp= TextFile.ReadToString(sManifestFile);
sTmp = String.Replace(sTmp, "privileges="user"", "privileges="administrator"", false);
-- Dialog.Message("Test", sTmp);
TextFile.WriteFromString(sManifestFile, sTmp, false);
-- Call adxregistrator.exe
File.Run(SessionVar.Expand("%AppFolder%\adxregistrator.exe"), SessionVar.Expand("/install=%AddInDLL% /privileges=admin"), SessionVar.Expand("%AppFolder%"), SW_MINIMIZE, true);
else -- Currrent user only
File.Run(SessionVar.Expand("%AppFolder%\adxregistrator.exe"), SessionVar.Expand("/install=%AddInDLL% /privileges=user"), SessionVar.Expand("%AppFolder%"), SW_MINIMIZE, true);
end
Maybe it's of use for other Setup factory users...__________________
