Brief description of your issue
When trying to install JohnMacFarlane.Pandoc in user scope, the installer asks for administrator credentials. It appears that the flags aren't specified correctly in the installer.yaml file. It specifies:
- Architecture: x64 Scope: user InstallerUrl: https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/releases/download/3.6.2/pandoc-3.6.2-windows-x86_64.msi InstallerSha256: E9A8036CC298AE3D92105D5909C805A0A069CC988E7938703C4041B3E24A13AA InstallerSwitches: Custom: ALLUSERS=1
I believe it should be:
- Architecture: x64 Scope: user InstallerUrl: https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/releases/download/3.6.2/pandoc-3.6.2-windows-x86_64.msi InstallerSha256: E9A8036CC298AE3D92105D5909C805A0A069CC988E7938703C4041B3E24A13AA InstallerSwitches: Custom: ALLUSERS=2 MSIINSTALLPERUSER=1
These settings appear to work correctly when I run the installer standalone
