There is support for the difxapi in Wix itself. Look in the wix help for the difxapp schema. Using wix built-in custom actions will be much more reliable than running command line tools at install time.

This works on an XP machine , but on windows 7 machine it requires administrator privileges to do it. this is my code: <CustomAction Id="Pop1" Property="Cmd" Value="[SystemFolder]cmd.exe"/> <CustomAction Id="RegisterDriver" Impersonate="no" Property="Cmd" ExeCommand="/q /e:on /c "wdreg.exe -inf file.inf install" /> <InstallExecuteSequence> <Custom Action="Pop1" After="InstallFinalize">NOT Cmd</Custom> <Custom Action="RegisterDriver" After="Pop1" /> </InstallExecuteSequence> The install stops at the end and shows me an error message. And when i execute manually the command on cmd window it shpws me the error message of administratrator privileges so i think that the windows installer stops because of that since it works perfectly on xp machine. I hope i was clear in my description and i hope to find an answer in your forum :) thanks in advance! -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/custom-action-w ith-administrator-privileges-tp7579039.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
