I'm trying to create a managed burn bootstrapper to install a MSI as either
per-user or per-machine. My bootstrapper will pass in a different ALLUSERS
value to the MSI depending on the choice of the user. I'm currently testing on
a Windows 7 machine as an administrator, UAC is turned on (default settings).
For a per-user scenario, I can get it to install cleanly if I set the MSI to
either InstallPrivileges=limited, InstallPrivileges=elevated or
InstallScope=perUser. If InstallScope=perMachine, the user receives a UAC
warning and I have uninstall issues in this situation.
For a per-machine scenario, I can get it to install if I set
InstallScope=perMachine. I see the UAC warning dialog. The other 3 scenarios
will result in an error due to insufficient privileges unless I "run as
administrator".
How do I get around my insufficient privileges issue without having to "run as
administrator"? Do I need to make a call to Engine.Elevate? If so, where is
the correct place to make this call at? I've tried a number of places in my
code. I see the UAC warning dialog but it doesn't change how the MSI is
installed.
Thanks
-Mike
