Hi I am using Enterprise Ed of Advanced Installer.
I have a custom action which runs VB script (It writes some info to registry). Everything works fine on XP and win2003 but in Vista it silently fails even though I am logged in as administrator and running msi file under my login.
The only way I was able to get it working in vista if I run msi file using
• Start->Accessories ->Command Prompt …. Right click and select “Run As Administrator” option
• Enter full path of msi and hit enter to start setup.
But as you see user won’t know this approach because it’s not well known. I want some setting in the setup itself will ask for Admin Permission at runtime so it can write to registry????
I also tried following solutions but none of them worked
1. Created Custom action "Launch File As Administrator" under "UI Custom Action" and then called that action on Installation Dialog editor --> "Published Events" -> DoAction
<DIDN'T WORK>
2. Change Media -> Bootstrapper -> Security -> "Require Admin"
<DIDN'T WORK>
None of above solution elevating access to Admin Level and because of thet my VB script fails.
Please advice if there is a setting somewhere in Advanced Installer which is same as "Run As Administrator" found when you right click on exe file in Vista????
Thanks,
Nayan
