Thanks Phil, It's an installer for Web Services. So there really isn't any 'first run' or anything at all really... Install, and then it should just operate for eternity. Is it possible to put elevated privileges as a package condition? Then if the MSI is run without them I could just error out

Re: [WiX-users] Calling CustomAction which requires Elevated

2013-11-23 Thread Bevan Weiss
Ok.. so it seems staying in the MSI process and getting elevated privileges just isn't possible, which explains why this doesn't work at all (since it's using the 'immediate' execution, which runs in the MSI process).. Next plan... I'd like to create an executable which will perform this work, and
