In that case I'd actually want the test to pass if the user was privileged. But if I use:
<bal:Condition Message="You must be an administrator to install this application"> Privileged </bal:Condition> The install errors regardless of whether I'm an admin with this in the log [0B98:0C48][2012-01-26T17:21:00]: Condition 'Privileged' evaluates to false. It seems like Privileged may never be defined. Am I maybe missing something when I build my bootstrapper. This is what I currently use: candle.exe Setup.wxs -ext "c:\Program files (x86)\Windows Installer XML v3.6\bin\WixUtilExtension.dll" -ext "c:\Program files (x86)\Windows Installer XML v3.6\bin\WixBalExtension.dll" light.exe Setup.wixobj -ext "c:\Program files (x86)\Windows Installer XML v3.6\bin\WixUtilExtension.dll" -ext "c:\Program files (x86)\Windows Installer XML v3.6\bin\WixBalExtension.dll" On Thu, Jan 26, 2012 at 4:52 PM, John Cooper <jocoo...@jackhenry.com> wrote: > Is the Privileged property even defined for non-privileged installers? > Generally, you're testing for set if the user is privileged and cleared > when the user is not.
