Thanks Blair. I also appear to have solved this by changing InstallPrivileges to "limited". Funny how I can spend hours trying and searching, but find the solution 5 minutes after sending the help email. Thx!

Subject: [WiX-users] How to skip UAC (vista and 7) Hi all, I have a small msi that is mostly custom actions to update database data. I'm not doing anything with add/remove programs or registry. I'm setting targetdir to [TempFolder] and my scripts and executables are getting copied to that temp folder correctly. But, when a client has uac enabled, I'm not able to avoid that popup. I've read on the net that you can avoid it if you don't install to programfiles, or hklm, or (others). Has anyone successfully done this? If so, any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
