Firstly, I would like to say that it is not a very good idea to launch any app from a deferred CA. Because, this app will be started with SYSTEM account and administration privileges.. Make sure this app won't deal with any user settings (HKCU, c:\Documents and settings\<user>"). Make sure NoImpersonate bit is set for Vista UAC compatibility.
Then, for your Windows Z Order problem, it is a well known MSI problem. If you can edit and recompile the source code of the launched app, inside this app, you can search for the MSI Windows (with FindWindow) and then create your main window as child of MSI one. m.rothe wrote: > > Hi, > > I´ve got a problem with an deferred Custom Action that will start an > executeable. > Works fine on XP, but on Vista the executeable´s GUI will prompt "mostly" > behind the msi UI. > Seems to be the same like the Difx prompt problem from Quinton in January. > Does Anyone have an idea how to avoid this problem or already heard about > ? > > thanks > Martin > > > > > ----------------- > Martin Rothe > QA Hard and Software > Steinberg Media Technologies GmbH > ---------------------------------- > > http://www.steinberg.net > > > - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - > - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - > Steinberg Media Technologies GmbH, Neuer Hoeltigbaum 22-32, D-22143 > Hamburg, Germany > Phone: +49 (40) 21035-0 | Fax: +49 (40) 21035-300 | www.steinberg.net > Managing Director: Kazunori Kobayashi, Mitsuru Umemura, Takuya Nakata > Registration Court: Hamburg HRB 86534 > - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - > - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Take Surveys.
