NSIS all users installation auto-update

• electron-builder version: 19.47.1

• electron-updater version 2.16.3

• Target: win

I’m facing the issue with updating application installed to the Program Files folder. I have oneClick: false in config and i’m installing updates with:

        setImmediate(() => {
            app.removeAllListeners("window-all-closed");
            autoUpdater.quitAndInstall(true, true);
        });

So when I’m trying to update application running under not admin account, it show UAC notificaton to enable old-uninstaller.exe execution. After I click on Yes it successfully deletes everything from application folder in Program Files but not installs new one. Altough, when I’m trying to update it under admin account it will be updated successfully.

Maybe it’s relevant to this issue. Could you please take a look on it or maybe suggest where should i look?

Ok, figured out myself. You can use this customInit script in order to make it work as expected:

!macro customInit
    ${if} $installMode == "all"
        ${IfNot} ${UAC_IsAdmin}
            ShowWindow $HWNDPARENT ${SW_HIDE}
            !insertmacro UAC_RunElevated
            Quit
        ${endif}
    ${endif}
!macroend

A little more description:

"nsis": {

      "perMachine": false,
      "allowElevation": true,
      "allowToChangeInstallationDirectory": true,
      "menuCategory": true,
      "runAfterFinish": false
    },

The problem exists with the per-user installation.
