I don't think burn currently supports this kind of scenario well (it may but I am not an expert).
What you could do is make a per-user burn bundle that just installs your msi silently then add that as an .exe package to your main with-prerequisites bundle. Or indeed leave it the way you have it and maybe flag the upgradable msi as visible in ARP and supply the msi directly when you service it. Or you could work out how burn is deciding to show the UAC prompt and fix it so it works in your scenario if possible.

One of these desktop applications is a client program to be remotely upgraded without elevation. I have it installing to LocalAppData and major upgrades work fine without elevation. Now, can I install this client app via Burn and then run a major upgrade on it using just the msi package? I have installed via Burn with the pre-requisites and this raises UAC as expected. I ran a major upgrade using just the msi and this performed as expected but put a new entry into Programs and Features. I cannot run the complete burn bundle as a major upgrade in quiet mode as this raises the UAC prompt, even though only the client app is updated with a new version. Is this even possible? How do I go about it? My bundle: - VC++ redist (installed via burn) - console app (requires elevation, installed via burn) - client app (DOESN'T require elevation, installed via burn) <- I want to upgrade this silently either with burn or msi - server app (requires elevation, installed via burn) Thanks Dave -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Unattended-upgr ade-of-Burn-package-tp7587678.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Get your SQL database under version control now!
