Re: [WiX-users] Require admin rights to msp

Digitally sign the original MSI, include the public cert in the 
MsiPatchCertificate table, and then sign the MSP with the same certificate.

    <PatchCertificates>
      <DigitalCertificate Id="MyCompany" SourceFile="MyCompany.cer"/>
    </PatchCertificates>

And in the wixproj,

  <Target Name="SignCabs" DependsOnTargets="UsesSignTool">
    <Exec Command="&quot;$(SignToolPath)&quot; sign /t 
http://timestamp.digicert.com /a &quot;%(SignCabs.FullPath)&quot;" />
  </Target>
  
  <Target Name="SignMsi" DependsOnTargets="UsesSignTool">
    <Exec Command="&quot;$(SignToolPath)&quot; sign /d &quot;My App Setup&quot; 
/t http://timestamp.digicert.com /a &quot;%(SignMsi.FullPath)&quot;" />
  </Target>

I use custom logic to detect the location of SignTool, but that should get you 
started.  Note, group policy can still disable LUA patching.

Subject: [WiX-users] Require admin rights to msp

Hi,

I have a patch(.msp) file which will works fine only if it runs from 
administrative command prompt on UAC on machine.
Can anyone please let me know how to give admin privileges to .msp.

Regards,
Srinivas.
