At this stage it may be trial an error of removing suspect looking bits from your MSI and retesting.
It would be helpful to see a log probably. -----Original Message----- From: Stelios Kyprou [mailto:stelios.kyp...@fcg.im] Sent: 23 December 2011 11:29 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Removing through the UI mode does not promptfor privileges I already have that condition in the code...So that didn't help with elevation. I really think that it's the feature installation condition, because when I made the feature install without a conditional set of it's level, it worked as I want it to... So there must be a reason why this happens... -----Original Message----- From: Sameer Arora [mailto:arora...@gmail.com] Sent: 22 December 2011 22:41 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.
