In the [Run]
section of an Inno Setup script, there's a flag runasoriginaluser
that allows the script to run a process as the original user:
the spawned process will execute with the (normally non-elevated) credentials of the user that started Setup initially (i.e., the "pre-UAC dialog" credentials).
Is there an equivalent flag or workaround for the {userdocs}
shell folder constant?
This is apparently a known limitation within Inno Setup (and other installers, generally), but I'm hoping someone knows a workaround.
Excerpt from the Inno Setup help file:
The "user" constants refer to the profile of the user running Setup. This user is often not the same as the currently logged-in user, so use the "user" constants with caution.
