Be aware that Elevated Custom Actions and User Account Controls in Vista are separate matters.

 

Elevated Custom Action allows non-privileged users to perform privileged actions if Group Policy allows elevation for MSI installation.

 

As for Windows Vista, in most cases if custom actions are involved, regardless of “Elevation is allowed for MSI installation in Group Policy”, UAC dialog should appear and MSI process should have as much privileges as the logon user has.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Elevating custom action on Vista

 

We're using ADSI and COM to access the IIS metabase to read those values.  If there is a way to do that with the registry as an unelevated user, please let me know as I certainly prefer using registry searches over custom actions and I wasn't aware that those values are also stored in the registry.

How? Don't you have read-only access to the registry, for example, as an
unelevated user?
