This is actually a function of MSI not WIX. WIX is just the mechanism to build the MSI where the rules are enforced.
MSI does follow these guidelines as far as I know. When you put the UAC shield on a button that does not mean the elevation request will happen right away. MSI does this request in the execute sequence before the any files are copied or deferred actions are run as this is the time when elevation is required.

According to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa511445.aspx, "Tasks that require immediate elevation when UAC is fully enabled have entry points marked with the UAC shield. In this case, users should expect to see an Elevation UI immediately after clicking such commands...". But after clicking on "Install" the wizard moves onto the next page and it can take several seconds for the elevation prompt to appear. I'm wondering if WiX is going against the UI guidelines, or if they instead mean "immediate" in terms of workflow, not time - i.e. users aren't allowed to interact with the UI between clicking the button and getting the elevation prompt, though the UI can update? -- Bruce Cran ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enable your software for Intel(R) Active Management Technology to meet the growing manageability and security demands of your customers.
