Thank you Alberto! Also thanks to Jon Torresdal for putting instructions on his blog page: http://blog.torresdal.net/CommentView,guid,001283D1-5C8E-4B16-B369-7008675E2E72.aspx
Using Jon's instructions, I successfully added a manifest and elevation occurs first. The only downside is I now have a setup exe instead of MSI, but I think that's the same with any bootstrapper. -----Original Message----- From: Carlos Alberto Costa Beppler [mailto:bepp...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, January 05, 2012 4:49 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.
