I briefly searched the archive for an appropriate post and nothing I found
was quite right, but I apologize if this issue has been previously discussed
here.
Using WiX v3 (candle.exe version number is 3.0.2925.0).
I have a WiX installer project that builds a MSI file for an IE toolbar/bho
extension. When installing on Windows Vista with the User Access Control
(UAC) turned *off* (ie, on install UAC does not ask you to confirm), there
seems to be a permissions problem when writing to the registry -- writes to
HKLM/Software/Classes/ AppID, CLSID/*, Interface/*, Typelib/* are all being
virtualized into HKUsers/[userid]/Software
Writes defined explicitly (RegistryValue entries in the WiX code) that write
to HKLM/Software/[company]/[product] and HKLM/Software/Microsoft/IE and
Windows (to register the bho/toolbar with IE) are working just fine. It
seems to be the stuff that is entered automatically from the <File> element
in the WiX code that is being virtualized.
I suspect this is a permissions problem? Since UAC is not being invoked,
something is being run by a low-privileges user or something? Any ideas?
Thanks,
Chad Blomquist
