First I need some guidance. I have several problems which all appear
related to dealing with UAC on Windows 7. But they may each require
separate solutions. Should I post these separately?
1) On a Windows 7 computer with the default UAC setting, my installation
appears to be failing because SFXCA fails to extract my custom action to
a temporary directory. The relevant messages I get in the log are:
SFXCA: Extracting custom action to temporary directory: C:\Program
Files\Spiricon\BeamGage
Standard\CustomAction.Install.WiX.CA.dll-9\
SFXCA: Failed to extract to temporary directory. Cabinet error code
11.
CustomAction CAInstall returned actual error code 1603
This message is followed immediately by Rollback messages.
2) We use a program, written many years ago, that calls
CM_Reenumerate_DevNode in order to simulate Find New Hardware.
Originally I thought that this program was causing the install to fail
but I removed it and found the failure described above. When I tried to
just run it, UAC said it needed elevated privileges. When I ran it as
administrator it appeared to execute without error. But, I keep an
error message in the log as if it was not being run at elevated
privileges. I thought deferred custom actions, and Impersonate="no",
were executed with elevated privileges. Any ideas how I can debug this?
3) When I click through the installation dialogs, I always get a UAC
dialog before the actual install starts. I always thought MSI was
elevated and would "just run". My MSI is not (yet) signed. Would this
help?
4) I am using a third tool to install third part drivers. I run this
tool three times. And three times I get a UAC dialog. This is not only
annoying, it looks very unprofessional. This tool is run in a custom
action. Again, I thought deferred custom actions were executed with
elevated privileges.
Please note that I am using WiX v3.0.
TIA!
