Get a verbose log using logging policy <http://support.microsoft.com/kb/223300>. If the package is marked as per-machine, MSI will automatically prompt for elevation on uninstall. (A shortcut pointing to msiexec.exe prompts for elevation "early" so the entire .msi runs elevated.) -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
