[wix-users] Admin privilage for Custom UI installer.

[Hoover, Jacob]

Bundles should not modify machine state, but rather property drive installation packages.

Bundles do not run elevated, just the engine.

Why? The Windows Installer is very good at copying, upgrading, uninstalling and rolling back all those operations for files. A bundle let's packages do all the installation work.

Hi Team,
I have a WIX bootstrapper installer with Custom C# UI. I want to copy something to my program files using c# code while installation, before the Engine.Apply. I dont have a setup project since i am bundling an EXE package (already created) using the bootstrapper project. Other wise i could have used custom actions. I need admin privilage for my C# application to do so. How can i get that?

Regards,
Kiran
