I think you'd have to run the whole install elevated. Actually, if it was an exe with requiresAdmin specified in the manifest, that might get elevated. If you need a DLL though I don't think that will work. I looked at this, and although you can specify requiresAdmin in a DLL manifest, you can't elevate a DLL when you load it. > > Elevated means i have the permissions of the LocalSystem account. Still > not enough permissions to access the network etc.... Really? The elevated section of InstallExecuteSequence should be all powerful, given that it's making system changes. What error are you getting back? Are you sure you're not trying to access the network via a mapped drive? Those are only visible to whichever user created them. > > Are there any workarounds or tricks to execute custom actions with full > admin permissions? > We tried a manifest in the native ca-dll, but the MSI installer ignores > the manifest. Unless it deferred I think you'll have to run the whole thing as elevated.
