Does it fail even if you run your setup elevated? If you’re able to run your
MSI non-elevated, it’s probably using the compatibility features to write to a
mirror program files directory under the user profile, not the real one. If
you run your msi, does Windows ask if you want to elevate? If not (and you
want to force it), a simple way to do it would be to generate a
bootstrapper-one of the checks that the OS does to determine if you need
elevation is to check if the app is named “setup.exe”.

Hello,
I have custom action in C++ dll that opens installed file and modifies it.
But in Windows Vista if file needs admin rights(for example if file is under
Program Files tree) opening file for writing fails.
I'm trying to use
<CustomAction Id="SettingUpConfigFile" BinaryKey="InstallHelper"
DllEntry="SetUpConfig" Execute='deferred'/>
<Custom Action="SettingUpConfigFile" After="PublishProduct">NOT
Installed</Custom>
Any ideas how to solve this problem?
Thanks for helping,
Benas
