UAC problems with config file editing on install

Hi

I am seeing very odd behaviour when updating an installation on Windows 7. It is due to UAC being present and active on the system - and have witnessed it happening on more than 1 machine.

My installation consists of a small amount of files being installed to the Program Files folder in a ...

Setting shortcut to "Run As Administrator"

Hi All

On W2008 R2 it is possible to set the Advanced properties of a shortcut to "Run as Administrator".

Is it possible to set this 'flag' through advanced installer? If so, How?

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards

Thanks for the information.

I have made my installation very simple now - installing a single file and trying to update a "DUMMY" variable with a string.

The code in the Custom Action Dll now has a single function:

Re: Permission allocation on non-English Windows versions

Hi

I have created a .NET DLL that includes functions which return the values of localised "Users" and "Power Users" depending on the language of the O/S.

But I am unsure how to include this in the Advanced Installer project through a custom action. Do you have an example to share of how to use a ...

Re: Conditionally Creating Folders

Hi Cosmin

I have been considering this problem further.

If it is not possible to get to "c:\Users\Public\MyInstall" from selecting from the pre-defined list of folders would the following be possible?

1. Display a dialog if installation is on the W2008 O/S & UAC is enabled (using the conditional ...

Re: Conditionally Creating Folders

Hi Cosmin

I have got a bit further now - I get the choice of folders in the Feature Dialog of wherever there are folders entered into the Files & Folders structure. So here is no need for an answer to question one.

The remaining 3 questions stand however.

Thanks in advance.

i.e. I want to create a folder if the O/S is W2008 and UAC is running. I wish to create a folder in "C:\Users\Public\MyInstall" placing a number of the configuration files in the folder as it is a writeable area ...
