[wix-users] Elevating permissions when double clicking the MSI

[Phil Wilson]

Strictly speaking it isn't when file copy starts - it's when the install
goes into the InstallExecuteSequence. The question implies you need the UI
sequence to run with elevation, and that implies you're running some custom
action code that needs elevation, and I suspect that may be the place you
should look for an alternative solution. 

Otherwise use an executable with an elevation manifest to launch your
MSI)with a CreateProcess type of launch) then the UI sequence will be
elevated.

I think you need to redesign msiexec.exe and the OS shell for that to
happen.  I don't think wix is involved, but maybe someone else has an idea.

Hi,

I want to be able to get the elevated permissions on double clicking the MSI
itself rather than having to wait till file copy starts.
Is it possible using wix?

Thanks
