[wix-users] Certificate Install Error in Windows 7

[Nathan Roe]

How do you run an install as administrator in Windows 7?  The option is not there when I right-click or shift+right-click.  The only thing I can do is run it as a different user.  I tried running it from a command prompt run as administrator and that does work, but the UAC dialog to prompt for elevation doesn't pop up.  I think the issue is what that dialog.  The installer always fails after I click Yes in that dialog.

Hi,
try to run your installation "as administrator" to see whether it resolves your problem.
