Hello Sangam,

In order to achieve what you want you can proceed like this:
- Create first version of your MSI package (i.e. 1.0.0) and digitally sign it using our "Digital Signature" page.
- Check the "Enable installing of patches for this product without elevation" option from "Digital Signature" page.
- Create a patch for the above MSI.
- From "Digital Signature" page sign the patch using the same certificate as the one used for target MSI.
- Build and run your projects.

Also, here's attached a sample, created using our 9.5 version of Advanced Installer, which implements a similar scenario.

Hello Sangam,

This happens because on Windows XP the application should be installed from removable media (CD/DVD) before applying the patch without elevation. I'm afraid this is a restriction. Please take a look on "User Account Control (UAC) Patching" article.

All the best,
Daniel
