Hi All,
I am logged in as an administrative user in windows vista and I have a
custom action (which calls a VB script function) in my .wxs file which
creates a firewall exception.
If I run the created .msi normally (just double clicking on it), the
installation goes to completion but my firewall exception is not made. If
I run the command prompt as Administrator and then run the .msi thru it
,the firewall exception gets created. I cannot understand the reason for
this.
I even have a condition which checks whether I am an admin or not and will
ensures that the installation runs only if I am an admin. The
installation does run and does not flag any error (meaning I am the admin)
but the firewall exception is not created.
Where am I going wrong ??
My .wxs file looks like this :
.

My script file b.vbs is :

colApplications.Add(objApplication)

Re: [WiX-users] Problem with privileges in Custom Action ( Wix )( .msi )
Try dropping the function wrapping statements. i.e. Function FireWallEntry / End Function Then just leave VBScriptCall= this way you can narrow down whether the function is even being called. Also ensure you have these attributes Execute=deferred Impersonate=no Akshat Sharma wrote: Hi All, I am logged in as an administrative user in windows vista and I have a custom action (which calls a VB script function) in my .wxs file which creates a firewall exception.

Re: [WiX-users] Problem with privileges in Custom Action ( Wix )( .msi )
The problem is that the custom action needs to be run with elevated privileges, which is what you get when you open a command prompt as Administrator. You need [EMAIL PROTECTED]elevated. The custom action will also need to be a deferred action.

Thanks for the reply. I implemented the changes you suggested and provided the action the required sequencing.

Re: [WiX-users] Problem with privileges in Custom Action ( Wix )( .msi )
Are you definitely getting a UAC prompt during the install? I'd suggest getting the script to log some details to a file, and then you can see exactly what fails, and why.
