yes, the exe is signed, but I run the bootstrapper on a VMWare image

Is there a way to launch it on a system with

1. That is not the recommended way to deal with UAC from Windows. You're
supposed to display UI and only elevate when the user does an action that
requires it. This is how the Windows Installer behaves. You're also more
likely to ensure that the elevation prompt appears on top of everything
instead

Rob,
I would very much like for you to rethink that goal.
Granted BAs should not write to the system, but there are some
compelling reasons for allowing the BA to run elevated.

0x800B010A == A certificate chain could not be built to a trusted root
authority. Is the exe signed? Is the signature valid and trusted on the
machine?

I would use BindPath.

Sounds like a bug.

The goal is very much that a Bootstrapper Application is never elevated. We
don't want BAs writing to the machine. Plus, the start experience for a
bootstrapper is much better if you don't elevate right away.
Unfortunately, IIS really made a mess of things when they did not provide a
way to *read
Hello,
I'm using Visual Studio 2010 solution which has a single WiX project within

I have another VS 2010 Solution (call it Solution BinaryProvider) which

I'm using a TFS 2010 Build system in which the build order is

Hello,
I'm a new WiX-user and just try to build a bootstrapper to customize a
PostgreSQL installation.
I use WIX 3.6.1915.0 in VS2010.
I've added two ExePackages into a chain (64bit and 32bit package).
Later I will pass additional parameters to these packages given from
custom dialogs.

Rather than depending on the existence of the variables, could you give them
an arbitrary null/empty/false value as a default and test for them being not

This works also for me, but it is not possible (AFAIK) to use 'OR',
'AND' operators in , expressions.

You can embed a custom manifest to a pre-built executable using the MT.exe
tool.

Hi!
My bootstrapper application needs to gather some information from IIS and
therefore needs to be elevated.
Is it possible to embed a manifest requesting the level

Hi!
I recently upgraded to WiX 3.6.1908.0 to benefit from the "hidden"-feature
of bundle variables.
And indeed in my tests changes to hidden variables are logged without the
values.
But: when an MSI package is executed with such a hidden variable as
parameter, the values are still logged in clear
