If you run a process that requires admin privileges then it will prompt, unless you run it from a process that is already elevated. If Burn is elevated then you'll be fine, otherwise you'll get the prompt. Rob On 05/07/2011 11:30, Michael Stoll wrote: Hi, I want to start an application

Burn doesn't have anything built in to do this yet, although we've talked about it a lot. Currently, you'd have to schedule your ExePackage as the last thing in the Chain and mark it @PerMachine=yes. Then you'd have to have your BA or a very cleverly designed InstallCondtiion control when the
