| | Uninstall fails on Vista - seems not to elevate I have been doing some msi package installation testing on Windows Vista Beta2 with UAC enabled. I have a Windows Installer package which installs fine. However, when I uninstall from Add/Remove Programs the uninstall fails during InstallValidate with the following error: "Error 1321. The Installer has insufficient privileges to modify file X" The file in question has security which allows local Administrators full control, but gives no rights to standard Users ie. not even Read access. I am logged on as an Administrator with Windows UAC enabled. Hence, when I begin the Uninstall I am asked to "elevate privileges" by Windows, which I agree to. I believe this means the Installation should be running with full Admin access, just like pre-Vista, or like having UAC turned off. However, it looks like at this point in the Uninstallation, the Installer doesn't really have Admin access as it can't read the file. If I turn UAC off, via the local security policy, the Uninstall completes no problem. Is UAC elevation working correctly here? Any ideas? J |
