Could your security rules require the bundle which is an exe to be code signed or to be run from a particular location in order to install? - This is what  our group's rules require.

Hi,

I have a bundle burn.wxs which has only 1 element(test.msi) in the chain I need to install test.msi on per user basis. So i set InstallScope to perUser.
When i install test.msi individually, it is installing and uninstalling without issues and the entry is available in controlpanel only for that user.

When i install the bundle as a normal user. Am getting installation failed.
Installation is forbidden by system policy.

Please find the attached Bundle Log

I need to install the bundle as normal user. How do i install it ?
When i execute the bundle by Right Click and Run as Administrator. It is installing, but am unable to uninstall the bundle from ControlPanel

*Note* : I cannot set ForcePerMachine either at the bundle or at the msi, because the installation is per user basis.

*Thanks*
*Srinivas*
