Hi! > force bdist_wininst executables to request elevation ?
Sorry, not a real answer, (rather information). On Vista, install is detected by Vista, and run automatically with elevation. In theory. Because, in practice, it's true, or it's false, sometimes... Perso, for my install softs, I use AutoIt (language "beurk!", but functionalities useful, like "Require Admin"). My AutoIt script require_admin (force "need elevation"), and, only run a batch (child process), who run pywin32 (after python25.msi, and before other packages). Like batchs launched since a soft "with elevation" inherit elevation, my installs run OK. Sorry for my bad English, and the half out-subject, and... have a good day.
