Hi Michael,

I am confused about why WhatsApp can be installed by normal user but can't be
installed by Administrator? I think Administrator have more privilege to
install application.
And I don't understand why most application can be installed by Administrator
just this application can be installed by normal user? What's the different
between WhatsApp and other applications?

Does this bug message(0042:Call KERNEL32.lstrlenW(00423cd0 L"Please re-run this
installer as a normal user instead of \"Run as Administrator\".") ret=0040253e)
is the primary reason cause WhatsApp crashed？

I hope to receive your favors at early date. Thanks very much.
