[wix-users] How to do Per user mode installation on specified folders

[David Watson]

You can't, non admin users cannot write to per machine locations by default for security reasons.

You can install to program files as admininstrator then patch (msp) to update without being an admin as long as you digitally sign MSIs and patches.

If your users choose a location within their scope it should work.
