I see two issues, the first being you are using / instead of -, though I am not sure if it matters. The second being that you didn't read the fine print, " Note After you change the TESTSIGNING boot configuration option, restart the computer for the change to take effect. " Why not just turn the flag on for your test machine and leave it on? This sort of change should not be used in a production environment. -----Original Message----- From: victorwhiskey [mailto:victorhwhis...@yahoo.com] Sent: Friday, May 11, 2012 3:08 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Does wix support calling bcdedit? Hi, I'm trying to call bcdedit from a deferred custom action to set the machine in test mode. I'm trying to install unsigned drivers at the moment so I want to put the machine in test mode with the command "bcdedit /set testsigning on". I'm calling CAQuietExec byt I'm getting Error 0x80070002 These are snips of my log: MSI (s) (B8:74) [11:25:49:046]: Note: 1: 2205 2: 3: PatchPackage Action ended 11:25:49: InstallFiles.
