Cant we make setup.exe check if its Vista? i mean, its an environment
variable!
UAC does some odd things to user access and permissions.
http://blogs.msdn.com/onoj/archive/2007/04/20/windows-vista-uac-and-installer-detection.aspx
Vista is supposed to automatically prompt the end-user to enter some
creds with Admin rights (or whatever the appropriate rights are) if
the executable is called 'setup.exe'
Is this not happening?
This is not the problem. The problem is that with UAC activated any file
and folder created
with windows applications will have no access right (like a chmod 000).
I suppose that Morgan was referring to the possibility of a message
prompted by the installer that with UAC
enabled, unexpected results may happen.
Perhaps Morgan can also point out other issues with UAC enabled.
Arnaud.
