Hello,

I want to use Innosetup to install a certificate to the Windows certificate store by executing certutil.exe in the [Run] section. How can I change the [Run] section depending on setup's administrative mode in order to install the certificate to the local machine store or the user's personal store?

Thanks in advance, Achim

You could have two entries and use Check parameters:

Check: IsAdminInstallMode

Check: not IsAdminInstallMode

Greetings,

Martijn

You probably also want to use the runasoriginaluser flag.

I'd think probably not, actually. In admin mode it should install to HKLM (so must not use runasoriginaluser) and in non-admin mode it shouldn't have elevated so original==current user (which might be the wrong user if the user did something weird, but either way Inno wouldn't know any better).

Sorry, I was mistaken indeed. Thanks!
