Hello,
I have a rather simple installer which among other things registers and starts
some windows services.
As such, the installer requires admin privileges from the UAC on Vista and
Win7.
It runs beautifully on Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7, so not problems
with the installer.
However, I need to launch an application when the user clicks the Finish button
on the last dialog.
Since the application needs to restart the services, it needs to run with
administrative privileges. I have as a result included a manifest in the
application requesting admin rights.
This also works beautifully, when executed separately.
On Windows XP the installer launches the application as it should, but on
Windows 7 (I haven't tested on Vista yet) it doesn't start.
I suspect it has to do with the installer running as "normal" user, while the
application requires admin privileges, and I am missing something for making
the installer able to launch the application.
My launch code looks like this:
<Product ..>
<Publish Dialog="ExitDialog" Control="Finish" Event="DoAction"
Value="LaunchConfig" Order="999">NOT Installed</Publish>
<CustomAction Id="LaunchConfig" FileKey="MasterConfig"
Return="asyncNoWait" />
Where the MasterConfig points correctly to an application being installed.
So, what am I missing?
Med venlig hilsen / Best regards,
