| REG_DWORD | 0 | 1 | 0 |
Enables the Browse button on the Use feature from dialog box, even when an installation is running with system permissions.
The Browse button lets users search for installation files. When an installation is running with system permissions, the browse feature can provide access to directories that the user's own permissions would not allow. Thus, by default, only system administrators can browse during installations with elevated system privileges, such as installations offered on the desktop or displayed in Add/Remove Programs.
This entry stores the setting of the Enable user to browse for source while elevated Group Policy. Group Policy adds this entry to the registry with a value of 1 when you enable the policy. If you disable the policy, Group Policy sets the value to 0. If you set the policy to Not configured, Group Policy deletes the entry from the registry and the system behaves as though the value is 0.
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0 of (Not in registry) | The policy is disabled or not configured. The user cannot search for installation files during privileged installations. |
| 1 | The policy is enabled. The user can search for installation files during privileged installations. |
To change the value of this entry, use Group Policy. This entry corresponds to the Enable user to browse for source while elevated policy (Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Installer).
