Description
Brief description of your issue
Steps to reproduce
I tried installing Adobe.brackets.
It failed with 1603
Run in admin shell and it works.
Before I get into it there are two problems with easy fixes
-
Instead of error 1603 give an actionable message. This is such a fundamental point that I shouldn't have to say it for the umpteenth time.
-
The fix was to run it with privilege. Tell me that in the error message and, better, offer, to do it automatically.
Expected behavior
Install brackets
Actual behavior
Error 1603
Environment
Powershell
