Phil, Thanx for your response. 1. Yes, "early in the installation process" does mean in the UI sequence...I know that this is not a recommended way to execute elevated CAs but I have a task that must be done prior to displaying a custom dialog that requires it. 2. I stuffed the manifest into the dll to ensure that all of my bases were covered...I haven't done a lot of work with them in the past and I figured that what you said would be true but just wanted to make sure I hadn't missed it if it was needed. 3. The setup.exe is asking for an Admin password if I am running the install as a "Standard" user...and it is asking for the OK to go ahead and run if I am logged on as an Admin user. 4. I've tried using both AdminUser and Privileged properties and neither of them causes the CA to run as admin! Any other thoughts on how I can get this CA to run as an Administrator?
