The only way to disable UAC is to do in the system parameters which requires a reboot of the system to take effect.
The best way to deal with this is to use a bootstrap EXE that handles the prompt upfront and then launches the MSI. Any changes to IIS that touch the master control file require elevated privileges. These actions include creating Websites and custom Apppools. Any changes to settings on specific web sites or virtual directories all depend on where the web.config for that site is located.

No, you can't install stuff to program files or add registry keys to HKLM without an UAC prompt. I don't know anything about apppools and websites. -- Nicolás ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users This email (including any attachments) is proprietary to Aspect Software, Inc. and may contain information that is confidential.
