We originally saw the problem using mallow and during our problem hunting we
tried tallow just to try and narrow down the problem. One thing I noticed
today is that our build server had reset NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation back to 1
so looks like we have a policy that is

Is there a common codepage that works with most languages and

Unfortunately, not. No Unicode in any shape or form. You're limited to the

That's not really an MSI thing -- in MSI, you're carefully controlling

I guess this is rather a system problem than Windows Installer. The quick
answer is yes, you can install your printer monitor and driver from one

Thanks agains Dan!, we are already using Mallow in other parts of the
project but we can't use it in this one. I will try to figure out what it's
happening and if I am able to find some solution I will back to this thread

In my initial post is said " I am wrapping the msi in a setup.exe boot

that has a manifest with requestedExecutionLevel
level="requireAdministrator"." When the setup.exe is run it does prompt
for an Administrators password. However, the CA is still not running as

How does the bootstrapper launch the MSI? I'm guessing it's using
something that doesn't cause the MSI to run elevated. If you're using

Hi,
We have a set of binaries that need to be deployed in a couple of places as

The short answer is, you can't do it.
Visual Studio uses InstallUtilLib.dll which is an MSI custom action that
installs Installer based classes. As far as I know, it's not documented
and not redistributable. Someone did reverse engineer InstallUtilLib
and they wrote a blog post about how to
