Setting Description
Require Administrative
Privileges
Add or Remove Programs Settings
Specify whether your installation requires administrative privileges. The default is Yes.
If you set this to No, InstallShield sets bit 3 in the Word Count Summary property to
indicate that elevated privileges are not required to install the .msi package. Note that if
you select No but your .msi package tries to perform a task for which it does not have
adequate privileges, Windows Installer may display a run-time error.
This setting applies to installations that are run with Windows Installer 4.0 or later on
Windows Vista and later systems or Windows Server 2008 and later systems. Earlier
versions of Windows Installer and Windows ignore this setting.
Note that an end user’s installation experience is more secure when installations are run
with only the permissions that they need. Unless an application is designed to be run
only by system administrators, it should be run with the least privilege.
Add or Remove Programs (which is called Programs in the latest versions of Windows) in the Control
Panel provides end users with technical support links and telephone numbers, product update
information, and information about a product’s manufacturer. Depending on how the installation is
configured, the end user may have the option of removing, repairing, or changing the installation with
the click of a button. You can specify this information in your project by configuring the Add or Remove
Programs settings in the General Information view.
Table 24-5: Add or Remove Programs Settings
Setting Description
Show Add or Remove
Programs Entry
Indicate whether you want to show your product's entry in Add or Remove Programs in
the Control Panel. Available options are:
• Yes—Your product’s entry is displayed on the target system in Add or Remove
Programs. This is the default value.
• No—Your product’s entry is not displayed on the target system in Add or Remove
Programs. The end user cannot use Add or Remove Programs to remove the
product, perform maintenance, or view support information. If you select this
option, InstallShield disables the other Add or Remove Programs settings.
Display Icon Enter the path on your development system to the icon file (.ico or .exe) that you want to
be used for your product’s entry in Add or Remove Programs. Instead of manually typing
the path and file name, you can click the ellipsis button (...) in this setting to browse to
the file.
Disable Change Button Specify whether you want to disable the Change button for your product’s entry in Add or
Remove Programs. The Change button enables end users to change installation options
after the product has been installed. End users can remove or add features as needed.
Disable Remove Button Specify whether you want to disable the Remove button for your product’s entry in Add
or Remove Programs. The Remove button enables end users to remove the product by
clicking one button, which runs your uninstaller with a reduced user interface.
If the end user clicks the Remove button to remove your product, actions in the User
Interface sequence of the project are executed.
