Creating msi installation which requires User privileges only

I have a solution in Visual Studio 2003 (framework 1.1) which has a
Deployment Project which builds an msi file for software distribution.

This works fine except for users who do not have full administrative
rights on their PC.

I know that an MSI file can be constructed such that it only requires
User level privileges to install but can't see how in VS2003 this can
be configured....

Can anybody point me in the right direction?

Thanks
Simon
