Hi Rob,
Please correct me if I'm wrong. Elevation is done by the chained
installers itself and not Burn ? If so, and I run several MSI + Exe
packages thereafter each wants elevation. Then I'd highly vote at
least for an ability to embed an admin manifest without need of
mt.exe.
I mean I fully

I agree with that and I was searching for a while to find a programmatic way
to reqest elevation from .Net so that I can force the BA to elevate right
before it is
That is wrong. smile/
You will get *at most one *elevation prompt with Burn. I specifically call
out that behavior in this blog entry:

Hi!
My bootstrapper application needs to gather some information from IIS and
therefore needs to be elevated.
Is it possible to embed a manifest requesting the level
requireAdministrator into the bootstrapper? If yes how would this be done?
Best regards

The goal is very much that a Bootstrapper Application is never
elevated.
Rob,
I would very much like for you to rethink that goal.
Granted BAs should not write to the system, but there are some
compelling reasons for allowing the BA to run elevated.
1) - Allows a user without elevation
1. That is not the recommended way to deal with UAC from Windows. You're
supposed to display UI and only elevate when the user does an action that
requires it. This is how the Windows Installer behaves. You're also more
likely to ensure that the elevation prompt appears on top of everything
