Re: [WiX-users] How to change the Windows Integrity level in Vista/Win7 when launching the application
Sorry to bring up the issue again. Does anyone happen to know the answer of this issue? Thanks. From: little.forest little.for...@ymail.com To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Sent: Tue, February 22, 2011 1:32:24 PM Subject: Re: [WiX-users] How to change the Windows Integrity level in Vista/Win7 when launching the application If you happen to know the answer, please let us know. Basically, there are some strange problems if the app is launched right after installation. But it works fine if the app is triggered from the system Start menu. Initially I thought this is our app's problem. But some of our developers dug in and try to convince me that the Integrity Level is different between launching it right after installation and triggered from Start menu. But I'm not sure they are correct or not. So my question is, why they have different Integrity Level? And how to make it the same as normal cases. Thanks.

Honestly, I'm not sure when the custom action is scheduled because I took the example(How To: Run the Installed Application After Setup) from Wix.chm.
