Re: Changes to the design of CoApp

 

Unfortunately, as much as we may all agree (or not, I shouldn't rule that out) that this is not really the "right way" for Windows Installer to work, we still have to deal with the fact that this is how it works right now and we should not expect it to change for the foreseeable future.

That being said:  Look!  We get to include a shiny new service for the project!

Which of course brings the question, what kind of added security is this, if you can work around the limitation by using a custom service...
