The repro and the workaround are in conflict, so at least one is a bug.
Topaz Gigapixel trial does not install when "Drop rights" and "Make applications think.." are checked. It also needs "Allow MSI..", so my take is that the repro-case is the bug.
its intentional to not be able to enable "MsiInstallerExemptions=y" together with "DropAdminRights=y" If Msi Installer Excemptions are required Drop Admin rights should be disabled first
its intentional
Ok. Helps me understand it better, and it turns out to be suffiicient to uncheck "Drop Rights" for "Topaz Gigapixel Trial" to install successfully. Thank you.
As this is intentional, it might be helpful to address these..
Create New Box dialog creates inconsistent ini:
Sandbox option dlg > Security lets me set all 3 options if I save "Allow MSIInstaller" and afterwards check and save "drop rights". (the workaround above).
If I edit the ini (Sandbox Options > Edit ini Section), I can set all 3 options and nothing will complain or clean up the settings to make them consistent later and the dialog happily accepts the inconsistency.
I'm fine with as it is, so this could be closed.
Describe what you noticed and did
Unable to check and apply "Drop rights" and "Allow MSIServer to run with a sandboxed system token". On clicking Apply, the dialog reverts "Allow MSIServer..." to unchecked. The ini section is does not contain "MsiInstallerExemptions=y".
