I have created a non-admin installer using Wix-tools. Its working perfectly. But when I provide "Run as Admin" by right clicking the setup, it is installing in ProgramFiles Folder. But I need to install the setup in the user LocalAppData Folder even giving "Run as Admin". How can I achieve this?

    [Here is a sample in WiX](https://stackoverflow.com/a/64335370/129130) - basically specify the installation directory to be in the user profile outright and not just be "re-targetable" from program files. There are a number of complications relating to per-user setups (patching, upgrades, etc...). Per machine installations are generally preferred. – Stein Åsmul Oct 22 '20 at 13:20
