We installed several applications on Windows 2012 R2 RDS servers and forgot to change the mode to Install mode with "change user /install" or using
the Control Panel wizard.
My understanding is that any app that uses Windows Installer will do the mode switch automatically. Therefore, is there any method or tool to list applications that ended up installing in execute mode (i.e. NOT in install mode), presumably because it didn't use Windows Installer?
Alternatively, is there any method or tool to detect if an application's setup program uses Windows Installer?
It would be very helpful if we can limit the number of applications needing uninstall/reinstall.
