How to get output after ExecAsOriginalUser

[Pityulin Alexandr]

I can get the output using ExecAndCaptureOutput method, but I need to execute the application with user rights. How can I get the output using ExecAsOriginalUser, or lower the rights before calling ExecAndCaptureOutput?

Sorry but such a function is not available. 

Greetings,

It's very strongly recommended to avoid doing any per-user setup in the installer (ExecAsOriginalUser is still not necessarily the user that may be running your app).

Instead, you should check at each startup whether initial setup or settings upgrade is required, by checking per-user files or HKCU keys at that time.  Don't forget that a single installation might be used by more than one user on a single PC, or at least a different user than the one running the installer.
