Hi wix users, Now that I have a setup.exe with a boot strapper to elevate my UAC, I'm finding a problem trying to make changes using Programs and Features after the product is installed. It asks for the MSI in temp folder, but since I used setup.exe to install, it's not finding the msi. Does anyone know how to resolve this? I've done searches with no results yet. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] MSI not elevating properly 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.
