Hello,
I have an installer that sets up a service. If the service already exists and has been customized to run as a particular user, then the installer needs that user's password to correctly configure the service.
If the installer is launched with reduced-UI, then no dialogs to collect the password are shown and the installation cannot continue.
In this situation, I would like the installer to re-run the installation in full-UI mode.
So far, I've set up a custom action to give the user the choice of aborting or re-running, then conditionally running a subsequent "Launch a File" custom action.
Of course this fails because the installer is already running.
Is there any way I can tell the installer to launch itself again *after* failure?
Or is there some way I can switch to full-UI mode if the installer knows it must collect a password from the user?
I tried sequencing the Launch a File action at "Finish Dialogs Stage" and "Install Execution Stage -> Finish Execution", but neither took place when the installation fails (which I'm doing with a Display Error Message action)
