I have an msi created using wix toolset. I wanted this msi to be launched with elevated privileges (UAC prompt).
so i created an executable of my msi (using setupbld.exe and setup.exe stub of wix toolset) and then added a manifest file. but after adding manifest file to my executable the look of my msi has changed to old-fashioned windows 98 style. The vista look has disappeared! This happened after adding manifest file to the executable. The solution I could find was - adding visual styles to setup.exe stub by rebuilding setup.exe in wix3.0.5419.0-sources\src\setupexe\setupexe.vcproj I tried the steps given in excellent post by john in http://www.wintellect.com/CS/blogs/jrobbins/archive/2009/02/27/creating-a-bootstrap-loader-with-wix-3-0.aspx this blog to rebuild setup.exe, but some how I am not able to rebuild setupexe.vcproj. Its giving me some or the other error. Can anyone help me out? Is my approach to get vista look for the (manifested) executable by rebuilding setup.exe stub (with viual styles added) correct? -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Rebuild-Setup-exe-from-wix-sources-tp5227891p5227891.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?
