On Vista SP2, I installed my application, which runs elevated thanks to its manifest, using a simple MSI I made with WiX 3. But when I want to uninstall, UAC becomes a problem.
. If I manually run the MSI elevated and click Remove, it detects that my application is still running, displays its full file description (not just the process name), and is able to close the application. No problems. . If I use "Uninstall or change a program" (Add/Remove Programs), it detects that my application is still running, displays only the process name, and fails to close the application. This is probably due to process privileges and user interface privilege isolation (UIPI). This happens AFTER the uninstaller requests elevation. . If I manually run the MSI without elevation and click Remove, it tells me: "The setup must update files or services that cannot be updated while the system is running. If you choose to continue, a reboot will be required to complete the setup." This happens before it requests elevation. It does not close the application after elevation. If it matters, the application does not always show a main window, it just has a hidden window for system tray icon notification messages. The WiX .wxs file I used to make the MSI has InstallPrivileges="elevated" and InstallScope="perMachine" for the Package. I want uninstallation to always be able to close my application. Any suggestions? /a ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
