There may be a programmatic way to do this but you would need your installer/bootstrapper to be elevated to turn it off which would mean a UAC prompt before disabling UAC, which I expect you are trying to avoid.
It would be a pretty poor security measure if programs could just turn it off regardless. -----Original Message----- From: Christoph Goetz [mailto:christoph.go...@giepa.de] Sent: 15 February 2013 12:40 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] deactivate UAC before installing Hello, i would like to turn off the UAC before installing.
