Re: Installation failed : "Access to the path "....InstallState" denie

I believe the InstallState file is created in the Program Files folder,
right? Limited users don't have write access to that directory, so that
behavior seems correct to me. I guess you're using a Visual Studio setup
with managed code custom actions? That would be the root design decision
causing this.

How can I indicate to the action not to run twice?
Or do you have another solution ?

Problem resolve :

I install the custom action in other directory (Application Data for user)
and it work fine.

Thank you.
