You're welcome.
Guess, your reply reached me and not the list because I forgot to set the

No problem.
There are some more boxes waiting to get updated (domain members /
standalone workstations). I'll do that next week. Propably then my mirror
will carry the most recent files.

Exactly: No ACE for Everyone. Thanks for clearing that up.

The way setup behaved is exactly the way I expected it to and the way I
would consider right. But you seem to consider this a problem. Obviously I
did miss the point here - maybe we are talking about different things.
It's not about the "Select Root Install Directory" dialog where you can
select to install for "All Users" or "Just Me", is it?
I just started setup under a non-privileged account and XP's mechanism to
show the "Run as Administrator" dialog when starting a program called
"setup.exe" or "install.exe" kicked in.
Maybe this is what you meant? If so - it worked for me.
