2.1 | 25 | Windows Installer can install a package on a computer into two installation contexts: per-machine and per-user. |
| 26 | |||
 |
2.2 | 27 | A per-machine installation of the package is required to enable **all users** of the computer to access and use the application. Because a per-machine installation makes changes to the system that affect all users, administrative permissions are required.
