Hey guys, I am still rather new to WiX and I am confused on some behavior relating to the generated MSI.
It surrounds the registration of a browser helper object (BHO) for Internet Explorer. The current test bed is on Windows 8 Enterprise, but it should have the same affect on earlier versions of Windows too. I am using Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate with WiX 3.7. Basically what I am seeing is that as a Standard User: 1. If I run "msiexec /i myinstaller.msi" from an elevated cmd windows as Administrator, all registers properly and the BHO loads the next time IE runs. 2. If I run myinstaller.msi from an elevated cmd windows as Administrator, all registers properly and the BHO loads the next time IE runs. 3. If I double click on the msi it prompts for elevation, installs but isn't properly registered in IE. 4. If I right click on the msi and select "Install" it prompts for elevation, installs but isn't properly registered in IE. Inside the .wxs I have the CustomAction to register the BHO set to "/privileges=admin" and "Impersonate="yes"". I am unsure what more I need to do. My desired result is that when someone downloads the MSI I want it to prompt for elevation, and do whatever it is that msiexec apparently is doing from the elevated cmd prompt. What exactly should I be reading up on to get that to work? I know there are some people that have setup.exe bootstrappers, but I want to ship just a single MSI or EXE that someone runs. I prefer the MSI so I can push it cleanly with Active Directory Software Distribution Policies and InTune in the future. Can someone point me in the right direction? -- Regards, Dana Epp Microsoft Security MVP ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ See everything from the browser to the database with AppDynamics Get end-to-end visibility with application monitoring from AppDynamics Isolate bottlenecks and diagnose root cause in seconds.
