I am using WinInstall LE 2003 and made an image of our email client. I installed the email client and created the image under the Administrator account under My Documents and Folders\Administrator. When the MSI is run I want it to install under the current user who is logged in. Is there any way I can edit the MSI file so that it loades it to the current user? I have found an .NAI file in the directory with the .MSI but I dont know the argument for curent user. Any tips? Thanks
 
How is it being deployed?

If it is through a GPO in AD, then assigning the application to the user may work in conjunction with the system variable %username%.

In the WinInstall LE 2003 console one of the options that is available is to install the package per machine, per user. Just go into the console alter the choice from per machine to per user and it will install under the current users profile. :) Hope this helps.
