How To Install Program Without Administrator PasswordWithout
I have two accounts on my Windows 8 machine, one admin (with password) and one standard user with no password. I recently noticed that while logged in only on the standard user I could download the install file for firefox, nothing wrong with that.
However I could also start it and install the application. I did this by starting the install app, a dialogue popped up asking me for admin password however this dialogue had a regular windows frame with an 'X' to close it in top right. By simply closing the dialogue the install file would run and install firefox, no password required.
This seems very odd to me and also circumvents the main reason why I made a standard user account, to have control of what is installed.
I tried to do the same thing with a more 'obscure' program and found that this time instead of the old windows framed dialogue I was now presented with a windows 8 looking blue strip across the screen again asking me to enter admin info but with no 'X' button. So perhaps because firefox was recognized as 'safe' by windows I got a different dialogue, still seems odd though.
So to question,
Can I set it up so that the standard user can not install any program, regardless of what windows think is secure?

I have created a Word Add-In setup.exe file with installshield and I'm trying to find out how to install it without needing administrative privileges.

This works perfectly on my machine, but it won't work for any other user in the client's system. The client uses a different system, so when I try the same command, I see that the files are added to my program files, but it isn't in my list of installed programs and the registry keys aren't set. I am not able to make any changes to their system, so I'm trying to find a way to bypass this whether it be third party programs or a little cheat I can use in the command prompt.

Does anybody else have any other suggestions or an idea of how I can fix this?

Thanks!

Admin access is needed if your app is installing into an area of the system where regular user does not have rights. If you want to be able to install it without having admin rights, it should install under their own user folder (think about %appdata%). Google Chrome is an example of that.
