my application includes a db and users will be able to add data to the db via a GUI. So I need to give authorization to the user to modify the db. I tried all options from this post but authorization is still not allowed.
Here, this is an illustration of what I try to achieve (get Permissions for Modify checked in the "Allow" column):
Here my current code:
#define MyAppName "aaa"
#define MyAppVersion "1.0"
#define MyAppExeName "aaa.exe"

I seem to have a problem with compiling my games.
I usually compile my games and put it in a backup drive but there seems to be a problem. When I install the game, it seems like it won't work:
Is there anything wrong with the code?

The script is not correct:
Symbol {#MyAppName} is not defined.
When I define this symbol the script is working fine (ALL users mode, Create desktop shortcut is checked).
This isn't the same question I asked before... I'm asking why I am getting code 5 error when building to a {commonappdata} folder.
I have two inno scripts, the setup one installs an application for ALL users, and installs it as a startup application, so we require admin privileges. I set it to install to {commonappdata} (ProgramData) so that it will be the program for all users. This works fine.
Here is the INSTALL script: (Seemingly no issues)

Then the Update script gets downloaded by C# later (if there is a newer version) and the whole idea of it, is that it updates the {commonappdata} (programdata) path, so it updates for every user on the machine, and it does NOT need admin privileges to do so. While still maintaining it as a startup application.

My issue, is that when the update script runs, it gives me the error code: "An error occurred while tryin to replace the existing file: C:\ProgramData\APP NAME\FILE.EXE: DeleteFile failed; code 5. ACCESS IS DENIED.
Please help. I mean I know the problem is, is that I guess I cannot even access or change the ProgramData folder (when not installing) you need admin rights in that folder. But I dont know WHERE else to put it where I can accomplish an update (for every user) without needing admin privileges.
You need admin rights to write to the commonappdata folder. See here where it mentions:
You are making it hard for yourself. By design your installer is either elevated or not.
If you must use any common constant you need admin rights.
If you use any auto constant with elevation it is only installed for the user.
First inno installer, installs the app as a startup application, which obviously requires admin privileges. But when we update our already existing program, I don't want to have to require admin rights (this allows us to auto update)
Here is the first installer script that requires admin privileges.

Now I want to write a update installer that wont require admin rights and just update the files.. This is a startup application, that is the only reason it requires admin rights. And it has to be a startup application.
You install the software for one user only (C:\Users\...):
[Files]
Source: "C:\Users\*****\Desktop\****\******.exe"; DestDir: "{app}"; Flags: ignoreversion
Yet you set it up to be started for all users (HKLM):
[Registry]
Root: HKLM; Subkey: "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run"; ValueType: string; ValueName: "{#MyAppName}"; ValueData: """{app}\{#MyAppExeName}"""; Flags: uninsdeletevalue
That's wrong. Windows will try to run the software for each user that logs in to the machine. Yet only that one user, will have access to the software. So the startup will fail for the others.
If you want to install the software for one users only, add the startup entry to the Run key to HKCU (current user) hive only, not HKLM (local machine).
Btw, for an answer to your literal question, see
Choose right Windows directory to install software and allow auto-updates
But your question is XY problem, so I believe that you actually do not want, what you ask for.
If you actually do not mind that any user can modify/hack/infect the application, you can create two installers.
One, that will do the initial installation:
Writes the files to a folder, where all users have a write access, like {commonappdata}.
Creates the [Run] entry in the HKLM – For what it needs PrivilegesRequired=admin.
Other, that will update the program only:
Updates the files in {commonappdata}
Does not modify the registry – So it can do with PrivilegesRequired=lowest.
Both installers should have the same AppId, so that they can share installation data. Though, I'm not sure, if it that will work nicely in Inno Setup 6, with its Side-by-side installation feature.
Well, in general you doing something that's not really correct.
I am learning how to use Inno Setup to create an installer for my project. I am having an issue though when it comes to updating. I've created the installer, and installed my application successfully. I've then updated my version number within the script and recompiled however when I run the installer it seems to treat it as a new install still.
For example, it will ask me where I want the application to be installed and when I click next then tells me the directory already exists. As the application has already been installed. I expected this bit to be skipped.

Hej guys!
I am trying to make a installer for my application with innosetup, everything goes finde, just a little problem:
It does not create the directorys i put in
Source: "C:\Users\Etix\Desktop\Fower\data\*"; DestDir: "{app}"; Flags: ignoreversion recursesubdirs createallsubdirs
Source: "C:\Users\Etix\Desktop\Fower\Media\*"; DestDir: "{app}"; Flags: ignoreversion recursesubdirs createallsubdirs
It just puts all files of the directorys in the application folder but does not create the directorys and put the files into them.
Do you know how to make it realy CREATE the folder and put the files into him?
