I am still having difficulty getting this install to work reliably. Today I go to uninstall / reinstall on this Win 7 machine w/UAC enabled and it refuses to install.
First, I uninstalled the previous install. It asked for permission to change things on the machine. I said OK and it uninstalled successfully. Then I go and try to install using the very same installer as before (no changes other than an updated application file) and it doesn't prompt for UAC and gives me an error message about insufficient privileges in C:\Program Files(x86)\OURINSTALLDIR . Yet this installation directory is created by the installer itself. Is there yet some other permission I need to grant this thing so that an uninstall / install sequence will work properly?
