Hi,
I am trying to prepare a two version of the launching for my app. One is
regular mode, and one for silent mode. I want to launch my app in silent mode

I tried that. At first glance, it seemed as if the setup was not launching the
app. However I checked the logs. I realized that the setup launches the MSI
after the installation indeed. Application gets launched; however, it fails
silently without prompting the elevation dialog.
If we double
If the application is manifested as requiresAdministrator (see the
requestedExecutionLevel element here:
