Hi All,
I've moved on from my earlier problems with Vista to new exciting
problems! Since moving a custom action for launching IE out of the UI
sequence the installer is now not elevating privileges under Vista at
all during install (but does so during uninstall).
So I created a batch file to launch the MSI and right clicked on the
batch file (run as admin) and now, even when the product is completely
uninstalled I get 'another version' is already installed. So I think a
previous install went on a per machine basis and the tests I have been
doing are on a per user basis. I never intended to create a per user app
so I need to look at this.
My questions are;
1) Should it not automatically ask for elevation (the shield icon is
showing up nicely on my button, which sounds correct) according to code
snippet 1 below?
2) Somehow I am creating a per-user / hybrid install, will creating a
shortcut under program files do this?
Thanks in advance
Ryan
