It seems that I missed some important details - our msi installs Speech
recognition components that are part of Windows Vista, and on Vista we do use
trusted Installer service.
Our main problem is with the registry key. We cannot overwrite keys in the
registry on Vista without running our msi as a Trusted Installer.
Thanks for your feedback,
Ravit

Simple answer? Don't overwrite OS components.
On Windows Vista only the Trusted Installer service can do that. On Windows XP
you run serious risk of breaking your customer's system, for which they won't
thank you.
You should always, always distribute third-party components according to the
instructions given by that third party. If you don't they'll usually decide not
to support you.
If you tell us the exact components you're trying to update, we can give more
guidance as to what the correct route for installing them is. Most likely you
will have to use a bootstrapper application to install the prerequisites (as
EXEs, MSIs or whatever) then your MSI package.

Hi,
Our msi overwrite OS components (in c:\Program Files\Common Files). When we run
the same msi on XP there is no problem, however, on Vista we get error 1303 -
"The installer has insufficient privileges to access this directory". The
workaround we have is to remove windows protection from several directories and
then run the msi. Do you know if there is a solution for this kind of problem,
which happens only on Vista using WIX.
Thanks,
Ravit
