Our team ran into the same issue last year, the problem appears to be a bug in msiexec for Vista (and Longhorn). You will probably have the same problem with the Repair and Modify options as well, at least we did.
Our solution/hack was to create a small executable that elevates the privilege that then calls our msi. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mat Sent: Thursday, August 07, 2008 6:57 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Vista uninstall from control panel Hi I've been running into a problem which I haven't been able to solve related to vista and uninstalling. I have a package which is set to install per-machine and elevated, which requires the user to be administrator to install the package. Under windows vista when the user is the computer administrator and the msi package is run it installs no problem. When the program is uninstalled from the shortcut in the start menu (created on installation) it uninstalls no problem. When the program is uninstalled via the control panel it begins to uninstall and states it is validating requirements, but then says that it requires the user to have administrator rights to uninstall the program. I'm at a bit of a loss with this, so any help is much appricated.
