Testing the Install Experience

Before shipping a product to users, you should ensure that the install experience is what you expect and that the product’s files are installed correctly. You should perform this test in systems that represent the systems your customers use while logged in as a nonadministrative user. In this way, you can make sure that the Installer application asks for authentication when a package requires it and that the installed component files have the appropriate ownership and access-permissions settings.
