You can use Burn's /quiet switch to disable the UI, without writing a custom BA.
The per-machine MSI's within a Burn bootstrapper will cause a prompt for elevation when it's first required. This approach follows Windows guidelines better than elevating at the start, which is what ApplicationRequiresElevation does. -----Original Message----- From: Erkan Celme [mailto:ece...@discovertechnologies.com] Sent: 11 September 2012 16:13 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] ApplicationRequiresElevation type of functionality with Wix 3.6 and Burn We're upgrading from WiX 3.5 to 3.6 and we're replacing our bootstrapper with the new 3.6 bootstrappers so we have a single exe instead of an exe and a msi. I tried to get rid of the standard UI that a bootstrapper installer displays but found out that you'd need to write your own custom BA to do that. Did anyone do that yet? Also, with 3.5, we had the following msbuild task to generate the bootstrapper: <GenerateBootstrapper ApplicationFile="$(TargetFileName)" ApplicationRequiresElevation="true" ApplicationName=" Server" BootstrapperItems="@(BootstrapperFile)" ComponentsLocation="HomeSite" CopyComponents="False" OutputPath="$(OutputPath)" SupportUrl="http://www.xyz.com"; /> ApplicationRequiresElevation="true" prevents the UAC warnings. How can we do the same with 3.6/Burn?
