Hi,
Sorry for answering late.
I am able to start MSI setup, but throws exception at the point where my
installation tries to write something to HKLM location and it is not a
custom action. It is a property.
My application does not have any metadata file. What all it needs to put
metadata file in installer? Or can I have a link that can guide me to
create and use such metadata file?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Pallavi.

Does "it does not allow me to install" mean that it doesn't start the
MSI setup at all, or that it fails at some point, and if so, what's the
error? Are you using custom actions?
And "my application requires these privileges" isn't anything to do with
the installation, unless you're assuming that the installation can
somehow authorize your application to run with administrator privileges.
That needs a manifest, as Tony mentioned.

Hello,
I am trying to install my application on Windows Vista with UAC enabled.
But, it does not allow me install.
I read in one of the documents of Windows Vista that, when UAC is
enabled, administrative privileges are disabled for the user (Standard
user). These privileges include granting KEY_WRITE privilege for writing
to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and SE_DEBUG_PRIVILEGE.
But my application requires both these privileges.
So, in this case, how can I install my application on Windows Vista,
with UAC enabled?
Thank you,
Regards,
Pallavi.
