Today you'd have to write a CustomAction to set that. The native Windows Installer ability doesn't have functionality to do that. -----Original Message----- From: Chris Lord [mailto:chris.l...@atterotech.com] Sent: Friday, February 13, 2009 07:47 To: wix-users Subject: [WiX-users] Setting XP compatible mode on Vista Shortcut Hello all, I have a simple installer that installs files and shortcuts. Unfortunately, a third party tool the application requires only runs correctly if the application is run in XP compatible mode under Vista. It runs fine with no modifications needed under XP and 2000. Is there any way to create a shortcut when Vista is detected that sets both the "XP compatible mode" flag and the "run with Admin privileges" flag from within the installer? Looking ahead, I am hoping a fix for this is soon going to be available. If the user should upgrade the software, is there a way to remove the above settings from said shortcut when it's no longer needed. Any help is gratefully received Thanks Chris Lord ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- -- Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
