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

[David Watson]

Use insignia to sign your packages and msps. http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/overview/insignia.html

Or call out to signtool from your build https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/windows/desktop/aa387764(v=vs.85).aspx

Make sure you embed the certificate in the MSI also.
http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/xsd/wix/digitalcertificate.html

follow the steps in  https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa372388(v=vs.85).aspx


You will still NEED to install the original msi as an administrator.
