The following table shows how the various Windows versions and installing user account types affect the installation type as specified by the Install level on the Tarma Installer or Windows Installer Installer Options project page.
| Situation | Install level option | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Windows version | Installing user | All Users | Query/Fall back | Current User |
| 95, 98, Me | any account | All Users | All Users | Current User |
| NT4 | Administrator | All Users | All Users | Current User |
| Power User | fails | Current User* | Current User | |
| User | fails | Current User | Current User | |
| 2000, XP, 2003 | Administrator | All Users | All Users | Current User |
| Power User | All Users | All Users | Current User | |
| User | fails | Current User | Current User | |
* Windows NT4 requires Administrator privileges to install All Users shortcuts. The installer will therefore fall back to Current User if running with less than Administrator privileges. See Dealing with access rights for more information.
