Re: [WiX-users] Automatic updating an MSI installation under restricteduser account

[Jason Swager]

In this particular customer case - nope, admin credentials couldn't be on the system or in the hands of the restricted user.  I suggested that the credential be written to the system in some obscure, highly encrypted fashion during the initial install (which had to be done by an Admin), then used in a CreateProcess call that spawned the MSI.  But that was shot down on the principle that having the admin creds ANYWHERE on the system in ANY fashion was unacceptable.  Not to mention what happens if those creds changed?

Yeah - this "update while restricted user" is causing the extra services to spawn like crazy.

Do you think it would work -- in general -- to prompt the user for admin
credentials at install time, then write a scheduled task to run under
that user? Personally, I hate all these apps that install services.
iTunes is a terrible offender. Lots of antivirus apps too.
