Our .msi calls the regit.exe which comes from Visual Studio SDK 2005 during
installation. It is defined in custom action.
The code fragment is shown as follows:
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action='CmdRegIt' After='InstallFinalize'>NOT
Installed</Custom>
<Custom Action='CmdUnRegIt'
Before='InstallInitialize'>Installed</Custom>
</InstallExecuteSequence>
<CustomAction Id='CmdRegIt' FileKey='regit.exe'
ExeCommand='/root:Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0
"[SEFolder]Bin\bservice.dll' Return='check' />
<CustomAction Id='CmdUnRegIt' FileKey='regit.exe' ExeCommand='/u
/root:Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0 "[SEFolder]bin\bservice.dll"'
Return='check' />
The problem is that when running the .msi in Vista, calling the regit.exe in
custom action doesn't register the COM component (bservice.dll) successfully.
So we need a way in Wix to let the .msi run in "elevated mode"----to run in
Administrator privilege.
Thanks,
Xin

We have a .msi file built from Wix toolset which calls one of the VS SDK tool.
Please be more explicit. Which tool? As a custom action or a build-time tool?
Can you show a code fragment?
