[wix-users] UAC Admin permisions

[Ronny Eriksson]

Okay so i found what is acutely causing my problem.

At start of the MSI I need to get the WebSites and AppPools from the IIS installed on the pc where you run the installer.
This is done in a Custom Action that that needs admin rights to get the info from IIS through 
This is executed after CostFinalize, so right at the start.

So how do I solve that?
Is there any way to get the MSI to understand that I need Admin rights from the start before CostFinalize? 
Right now MSI does not elevate when necessary ;)

Any ides?

Can I get the IIS Sites some other way instead of a CustomAction that will help the MSI to understand that I need admin rights?

Ps: the package runs perfect IF you start it from a CMD that is started as Admin.

Don't do either of those things. Your MSI will elevate when necessary. <smile/>

MSI does not support elevation when it starts... It requests elevation when the install button is clicked...

You have two options
1. Use a bootstrapper to elevate privileges 2. You can create a self elevating custom job... Which elevates the MSI when it starts....
