Hi, The actual requirement is I have a msi which is having elevated rights(InstallPrivileges ="elevated", Privileged Launched condition and digitally signed).
And simply created the patch by following the Link: http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix2/patch_building.htm with out adding signing or any additional things, This is working sucessfully in all machine except the machines having UAC on. If we run the msp through AdminCommandPrompt it works fine(executing Impersonate="yes" customactions) on UAC-ON machine also. Signing the msp is the solution for this problem? Regards, Srinivas.
