Hello,
I'm working on a boostrapper wich really needs elevated privileges in order to
completly install our solution. (I know I normally should'nt do that, but we
don't have choice because of the specific components needed to be install).
I'm searching a way to define a specific manifest file for a generated
bootstrapper executable.
I'm aware of the already answered forum posts (in 2011) :
-
http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Manifest-for-Burn-Bootstrapper-td6605859.html

http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Burn-how-to-elevate-BA-Manifest-for-Burn-Bootstrapper-Continue-td6855345.html
I have tried embed manifest with mt.exe with no success, same error as the
second post. (mt.exe : general error c101008c: Failed to read the manifest from
the resource of file "C:\ ..... MyInstall_1.0.107.41.exe.manifest". The binary
is not a valid Windows image.)
I also have tried the Elevate() function of BA, which doesn't elevate the
context at all.
But when looking in depth to my generated executable with Mitec EXE Explorer, I
found there is a manifest embed into it (you will fin dit at the end of this
mail)
My question is :
- Is there a way to embed or define a manifest with more recent (3.7) version
of WiX while generating a Bundle EXE ? (with specific candle or light
parameters ?)
- Is it possible to alter or modify the manifest once the bundle executable is
generated ? (with mage.exe ?)
- Is there a workaround other than "no, you just don't have to elevate
privileges" ?
Thanks in advance, we are really stuck on this...
Bests,
