I tried that. At first glance, it seemed as if the setup was not launching the
app. However I checked the logs. I realized that the setup launches the MSI
after the installation indeed. Application gets launched; however, it fails
silently without prompting the elevation dialog.
If we double click on the application, it prompts the elevation dialog properly
though.
We have the following manifest file embedded into the application binary:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">
<trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
<security>
<requestedPrivileges>
<requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator" />
</requestedPrivileges>
</security>
</trustInfo>
</assembly>
This is happening on a Win 7 machine. I haven't tried this on other OSes yet.
Could you please let me know if I am missing anything.
Thanks,

If the application is manifested as "requiresAdministrator" (see the
requestedExecutionLevel element here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb756929.aspx) then your app will
prompt the user and be elevated when launched, no matter from where that
launch occurs.

Subject: [WiX-users] A real challenge: how to launch the app in elevated
mode after finishing its setup ?
Hi,
I am having trouble to implement a WIX project which requires the installed
application to be launched just after its installation. I have read many
articles and couldn't find a way to do it. The articles says that I need to
flag my custom action as
Execute="deferred" Impersonate="no"
to make it get elevated. On the other hand, the articles says that
"deferred" actions must be before 'InstallFinalize' and after
'InstallInitialize'.
That means, I cannot define a "deferred" custom action to be run after the
regular 'finish screen'.
I am pretty sure that there are many people in the world that needs
something like that. But I really don't know how to come up with a solution
for this. Could you please let me know if you know a solution. A simple code
example would be great if you have any. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
