Denis Golovin commented on JBDS-3841:
-------------------------------------
Vagrant and VirtualBox are MSI installers and they require administrative privileges to
continue with installation.
Also in case of target installation folder is outside of %USERPROFILE% installer would
require administrative account to be able to continue.
Finally elevated privileges comes form 7zip.sfx which is really executable that expects be
part of self executable archive.
I think the possible solution here is to run as current user and then vagrant and
virtualbox request for administrative privileges when we start them with msiexec.
Installer should also validate if target location is inside current user profile. In case
vagrant and virtualbox installed there would be no requests from UAC at all. That scenario
would be called "Single user installation".
To support "install for everybody" we would need to fix several issues related
to how installer changes the environment and skip JBDS Start in the end to avoid creating
configuration files for eclipse with administrative access rights.
Installer Sets Path for Wrong User
----------------------------------
Key: JBDS-3841
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-3841
Project: Developer Studio (JBoss Developer Studio)
Issue Type: Bug
Components: installer
Affects Versions: 9.x
Environment: Windows 10
Reporter: Thomas Mäder
Assignee: Denis Golovin
Priority: Blocker
Fix For: 10.0.0.Alpha1
When I run the offline installer from my non-privileged account, I am prompted by UAC for
an administrator login. When I enter my admin login and proceed, tools like vagrant, etc.
will not be available from the command line in my non-privileged account. It turns out,
the necessary path entries were added to the user-specific path of the admin user, not the
user starting the installer.
