A couple or four things: 1) Does "early in the installation process" mean in the UI sequence? 2) Manifests target executables, not Dlls - they run with the level of the exe that loads them. 3) If the setup.exe isn't asking for elevation via Cancel/Allow but is asking for an admin account, the

Having a bootstrapper run by an administrator before installing the MSI is a normal way to separate required privilege so that your MSI can potentially not require administrator privilege although prerequisites typically do.

I'm guessing you want to avoid passing the REINSTALLMODE to the bootstrapper, correct? My solution to the same problem (thanks to the help of others on this list) was to use "*" as the product code, and define every upgrade to be a major one. There is a way to distribute a bootstrapper with autom

Major upgrades change the product code, small ones do not. The idea is that small upgrades change the existing install, but a major one could, if you choose, exist as a separate product. If you want to have a side by side install, change the product and upgrade codes. For an upgrade, change the
