The client setup program can be installed in two different modes: AllUsers and CurrentUser.
Use the AllUser mode when the user account performing the installation has Administrator privileges.
The AllUsers mode allows you to deploy the client applications in a way that makes them available to all users logged in to the system. When performing this installation, the user account requires Administrator privileges.
Use the CurrenUser mode when the user account does not have Administrator privileges.
The CurrentUser mode does not require Administrator privileges to perform the installation. However the deployed applications are only available to the user account where the installation was performed. This mode enables deployment of the client applications in restricted environments where Administrator privileges are not readily available. The client installation can be deployed in CurrentUser mode on one machine as many times as needed under different user accounts. This procedure allows multiple users to use the client applications while still not requiring Administrator privileges during a deployment. The fact that CurrentUser mode does not require Administrator privileges is achieved by writing files and registry values to user-specific locations. The default installation paths are different in this mode. These paths point to a location under the user profile directory where the user has write access permissions by default. When overriding these default installation paths, select directories where the user has previously been granted write access permissions.
By default the AllUsers mode is used when the user account performing the installation has Administrator privileges. The CurrentUser mode is used by default when the user account does not have Administrator privileges.
Command-line options can be used to select the desired mode. The /AllUsers command-line option selects the AllUsers mode. The installation aborts if the AllUsers mode is selected this way and the user account does not have Administrator privileges. The /CurrentUser command-line option selects the CurrentUser mode.
Examples:
D:\clientInstall\apClientInstall.exe /AllUsers D:\clientInstall\apClientInstall.exe /CurrentUser
The unattended installation sample script is located in the unattended/samples directory on the installation media. This script shows how these command-line options can be used to deploy the CA Automation Point client applications.
Important! Installing the product in both the AllUsers and CurrentUser modes at the same time on a single machine is not supported. If at any time a transition from an AllUsers-mode deployment to a CurrentUser-mode one is required, the product has to be uninstalled first. The same applies to the opposite transition from a CurrrentUser to an AllUsers deployment.
Note: When performing an unattended installation, the /CurrentUser command-line switch is required to confirm that a CurrentUser mode installation is acceptable. This restriction is in place to prevent an accidental deployment in CurrentUser mode due to insufficient privileges. Similarly, the /AllUsers command-line option can be used during an unattended installation to ensure the AllUsers mode is being used.
