I'm trying to give a way for end users to install visual studio professional 2022 without admin rights in an entreprise context (computers managed by intune).
To do that i created a policy in intune with parameter AllowStandardUserControl with value 2 like described here : configure-policies-for-enterprise-deployments
In registry, in
HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\VisualStudio\setup
i have a key AllowStandardUserControl with value 2.
But when i try to execute vs_professional.exe, i have UAC. So how can i used this functionnality to install or modify visual studio without admin right?
i try to download vs_professional.exe from microsoft and execute it but, UAC is prompting me for admin rights.
Is someone use this way to install?
I finally found by myself. When policy is configured, installer must be installed with admin rights. And since version 17.8, it's possible to install only the installer by using
After that, installer UI can be executed as a standard user. A remark, binaries are always download by system account so, if you are behind a proxy, you will have to authorized it or create a offline repo
