wix - Should ALLUSERS property be specified in the .wxs file which produce Windows merge modules (*.msm)?

Question

We are developing a Windows Installer installer (MSI) using WiX 3.5, and we have used merge modules in our MSI.

In the MSI, we have specified ALLUSERS property value=1. Will the Windows merge modules (*.msm) use this property or should we also specify the ALLUSERS property in the .wxs file which produces *.msm files?

Answer 1

首先，它是ALLUSERS 属性。拼写和大小写至关重要。其次，不，MSI 应该设置 ALLUSERS=1 而不是 MSM。这是安装程序的决定，而不是合并模块的问题。

如果合并模块中的组件需要按机器安装，您可以考虑安排一个错误自定义操作来强制执行此操作。
