I run a msi by using msiexec 4.0 on Vista with UAC ON. And the msi have
two custom actions (a setup dll and a remover dll). Even if my account
is Administrator, it failed to install on Vista though it worked on XP.
After I set the two CA with Impersonate="no" as Bob Arnson suggested,
they get elevated, and installation and uninstalling went through well.
However, there are the following issues:
1. When I spawn another process after installation in my
setup.dll, the process actually run as system account context rather
than current user context.
2. I signed my custom actions (a setup dll and a remove dll) and the
msi as well. But when I run the msi, I still get the UAC prompt like:
A program needs your permission to continue
Product Name
Company name
Install
Version
Is there any way to prevent the prompt opened?
3. One more issue when I uninstall. I could not pass successfully a
public parameter value pair on Vista. But it works on XP. The log is:
