My company has recently switched from InstallShield installs to wix/msi
setups,  First off I want to say thank you, WiX has saved so many
headaches it isn't even funny, but has created some in the process.

 

I find that Vista is now prompting for permission to run the win32
cabinet self-extractor when trying to do automated upgrades from one
version to another.  That won't fly because some setups must be
unattended, and user set to admin level is not on option.

 

I believe the prompting is specifically a side effect of packaging with
iExpress.

 

Is there any way to avoid that prompt?

I have tried the inserted elevated manifests and the "runas" verb in
apps launching the setup.exe with no success avoiding of that prompt.

 

Is there a packager that could be user instead of iExpress, or I guess
the bottom line question is how are other people dealing with automated
unattended upgrades with Vista with UAC enabled?
