I have an installer that invokes InstallUtilLib.dll via a set of CAs as
documented in

http://avinashkt.blogspot.co.uk/2007/05/how-to-create-installer-using-wix-which.html
If I simply double-click on the MSI or run it using msiexec (NOT as an
administrator) then it fails with Error 2869!
The relevant files from the logfile (msiexec /Log ...) are
Action 17:17:50: Install.
DEBUG: Error 2869: The dialog ErrorDlg has the error style bit set, but is not
an error dialog
The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This

accurate if translation happened inside sandbox)

If I run the installer via msiexec AS AN ADMINISTRATOR it works fine!
For reference - the set of CAs, including the custom action "Install" to which
the Error 2769 refers is as follows: -
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action="InstallSetProp"
After="StartServices">$WmiProvider>2</Custom>
<Custom Action="Install" After="InstallSetProp">$WmiProvider>2</Custom>
<Custom Action="UninstallSetProp"
After="MsiUnpublishAssemblies">$WmiProvider=2</Custom>
<Custom Action="Uninstall"
After="UninstallSetProp">$WmiProvider=2</Custom>
<Custom Action="CommitSetProp" After="Rollback">$WmiProvider>2</Custom>
<Custom Action="Commit" After="CommitSetProp">$WmiProvider>2</Custom>
<Custom Action="RollbackSetProp"
After="Install">$WmiProvider>2</Custom>
<Custom Action="Rollback"
After="RollbackSetProp">$WmiProvider>2</Custom>
</InstallExecuteSequence>
<CustomAction Id="Uninstall" BinaryKey="InstallUtil"
DllEntry="ManagedInstall" Execute="deferred" />
<CustomAction Id="UninstallSetProp" Property="Uninstall" Value='
/installtype=notransaction /action=uninstall /Logfile= "[#WmiProviderDLL]"
"[#WmiProviderDLLConfig]"' />
<CustomAction Id="Install" BinaryKey="InstallUtil"
DllEntry="ManagedInstall" Execute="deferred" />
<CustomAction Id="InstallSetProp" Property="Install" Value='
/installtype=notransaction /action=install /Logfile= "[#WmiProviderDLL]"
"[#WmiProviderDLLConfig]"' />
<CustomAction Id="Rollback" BinaryKey="InstallUtil"
DllEntry="ManagedInstall" Execute="rollback" />
<CustomAction Id="RollbackSetProp" Property="Rollback" Value='
/installtype=notransaction /action=rollback /Logfile= "[#WmiProviderDLL]"
"[#WmiProviderDLLConfig]"' />
<CustomAction Id="Commit" BinaryKey="InstallUtil" DllEntry="ManagedInstall"
Execute="commit" />
<CustomAction Id="CommitSetProp" Property="Commit" Value='
/installtype=notransaction /action=commit /Logfile= "[#WmiProviderDLL]"
"[#WmiProviderDLLConfig]"' />
Am I missing something that should be obvious? It feels as if the CAs are not
being run with admin rights (even though I am prompted).
All suggestions gratefully received. Apologies in advance if this is a FAQ with
a well known answer that I've missed!

David
