#1148 WiXSqlExtension
I am using WiX 3.0.29.25, I am suspecting that the custom actions in WiXSqlExtension: CreateDatabase, DropDatabase, ExecuteSQLStrings and RollbackExecuteStrings are not getting deferred by default. When I attempt to uninstall the product from Vista with UAC turned on, the installer complains about not having permissions to remove the mdf specifically. I attempted the uninstall from an elevated command prompt and the uninstall completed successfully. Is there a solution to this?

Looks like the custom actions aren't attributed with Impersonate="no".
Please file a bug on http://sf.net/projects/wix. Also, that is an older
WiX version. When fixed you'll need to download updates from
http://wix.sf.net/releases.

Which SQL server are you using? The general case is that the server itself has the permissions needed to manipulate the file system.

Those CustomActions are impersonated because you want to connect to SQL as the user doing the install not as the local machine. I have installs that drop dataases and such as long as the user has permissions do so in SQL. Does the user doing the uninstall have permission to drop databases and such?
