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

[dev at parascadd.com]

Dear Team,
After last discussion, We have used to do for Installing Setup with 
Administrator Rights and patches without Admin Rights but it was not 
happening
Steps we used
1. Created .pvk file using makecert.exe from command prompt.
2. Created .pfx file using pvk2pfx.exe from command prompt.
3. Added .pfx file in our .msi file in product.wxs file in 
msipatchcertificatetable using <PatchCertificates> tag and 
<PackageCertificates> tag

After doing following steps still we are asked for Admin Rights while 
installing patches

Please let me know if we are missing anything, Thanks in advance.

Regards
Ashit
