You may need to clarify exactly what your custom action does - your first post says you want to copy files to the target directory (which is why I mentioned CopyFile) but the recent post says you want to modify a config file.
Your custom actions seem to be deferred, which means that in a per-machine install they could run with the system account and that should have enough privilege to modify or copy files in Program Files. So the issue might be that your custom actions need marking with impersonate="no" so that they run with the system account. --------------- Phil Wilson On Tue, May 6, 2014 at 11:53 PM, Aleksey Tikhonov <lekseytikho...@gmail.com> wrote: > Wix Disigner does such project.wsx > > But I need to modify config file with parametr which is setted in the > settings dialog. > It does not work also.
