From my understand of reading MSIExec's help file (and I might be totally wrong) the /a flag (for admin install) is for a network install. If that's the case with the CA not running, why would it then generate an error message? Is it possible to run the util:FileShare as a local admin instead of as the installer of the MSI? I know with regular CA's you can impersonate.

[WiX-users] Administrative install and File/Folder Sharing
I'm doing a remote admin installation using an internal MSI deployment tool. My
problem is that when I go to set the folder permissions for a FileShare it's
telling me I don't have permissions to do this.
Is there an easy way to elevate the MSI installation so that it will attempt to
setup the share using local admin privileges? If I assign the tool's user's
permission ( which is what the tool uses to install the msi) to the folder, it
works, but then I have to remove those permissions, which makes it a hassle.
Using Wix 3, code is below. Thanks - Pierson
