I would recommend doing Bob's "semi-custom" action scheme: http://www.joyofsetup.com/2007/07/01/semi-custom-actions/
Let Windows Installer write the registry key for you. -----Original Message----- From: Sherwood Hu [mailto:sherw...@morovia.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 28, 2009 8:09 PM To: WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Modifying an existing Wix 2 script for Vista Hi all, I am working on a Wix2 script written a couple of years ago. We want the .msi produced compatible with Vista UAC mode. The installer contains a custom action (written in C++ DLL), which creates a key under HKCM/Software/CompanyName/ProductName. It runs at UISequence. Based on my understanding, this is not good, so I split it into two CAs, the validation happens in the UI sequence, and the actual writing happens in INstallSequence. I already added elevated privilege attribute in <package> element. Now the problem is that I always get "access denined" error when calling RegCreateKeyEx to create key HKCM/Software/CompanyName/ProductName. Is there anything I can do to solve the problem. Note that this did not happen in WinXP. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Come build with us!
