Re: [WiX-users] XP Install as admin
The is achieved by enabling the install to support elevation. MSI does this by default when UAC is enabled and you are targeting the 4.0 or higher MSI engine. There are two things you need be aware of when using custom actions: 1. All immediate custom actions run in the current users context. 2. Only deferred custom actions can be configured to run in the system context (elevation).
