Hello,
I've written a custom WPF bootstrapper application and I need to modify some config files inside the install dir after installation. For easier editing, I want to use the custom BA instead of the WixUtils. Now this works without a problem with UAC disabled, though a disabled UAC throws an AccessDeniedException and does not allow me to modify said files (due to the files being installed in the restricted C:\Program Files\ folder). I've read around and tried using an application manifest for the BA (with using <requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator" uiAccess="false" />), setting the InstallScope to "perMachine" and InstallPrivileges to "elevated" for my packages inside my bundle chain, as well as setting ForcePerMachine to "yes" for all MsiPackages inside my chain. The installation DOES get elevated (the UAC prompt pops up), however the custom BA itself does not get elevated... How can I do that? Thank you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming!
