[WiX-users] Need a custom action with UAC elevated privileges before InstallInitialize

[Peter W. <Pet...@cl...>]

Hi all,

I have to register a com dll at the beginning of our installation.  We need to use the logic contained within the dll to inspect machines on the network during the install.  Therefore, it is not feasible to defer this custom action.  Is there any way to elevate the user's privileges right when they double click the MSI?

I've listed some sample code to show what we're doing.

Thanks in advance.

Peter

<Custom Action="RegisterComDll1" After="MigrateFeatureStates"></Custom>
<CustomAction Id=" RegisterComDll1"  Impersonate="no" Property="REGSVR" ExeCommand='/s "ComDll1.dll"' />
