<quote> trying to run my setup as a "non admin" on Vista Beta 2(5384).
I get the following error (access denied) while trying to install my windows service as a ***non admin*** - "SchedServiceConfig: Error 0x80070005: failed to get handle to SCM" I get no error when I am logged as ***admin*** on Vista How do I elevate my priviledges and install the service as localsystem ? </quote> I do not read this as a User Account Control (UAC) issue. But you just logged on as a normal user - not logged on as a administrator with UAC. Installing a service requires [Privileged] property set by the msi engine. (Not [Admin] property). Whether it is in Vista or XP, normal user cannot install services without administrative privileges. [Privileged] property will be set 1. If you are logged on as one of administrative accounts, it would be set even if UAC is enabled. 2. Group policy explicitly allows non-admin users to allow privileged installation for MSI. I advise you add a launch condition for your wix file testing for [Privileged] property is set. <quote> "SchedServiceConfig: Error 0x80070005: failed to get handle to SCM" </quote> Still, this is interesting. SchedServiceConfig is an immediate action. If immediate custom action or impersonating deferred custom action use administrative privileges, UAC may interfere in Vista, doesn't it?

Very likely. Can you open a bug at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=105970&atid=642714, preferably attaching an .msi that reproduces the problem? -- sig://boB http://bobs.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
