we have requirement to create a MSI package to run on non-admin users machine.
i have created msi package using wixedit tool and works perfectly for Admin users and not for non-admin users.
is there any config settings in wixedit to run and install the MSI package for non-admin users?
our application will install in program files directory location and our end users doesn't have privileges to run the msi as administrator
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

There's no way around it. Preventing users from installing software on their own is the whole point of not giving users local admin rights in the first place.
The only way to do the install is to use a package distribution system (e.g. SCCM, Kaseya, psexec, Remote Installer, etc.) that can elevate privileges.
If the computers in question are on a domain and you don't have access to such tools, then Group Policy would be your best bet.
