我的自定义 MSI 不会安装在 Windows 7 或 Windows Server 2008 R2 上

Question

I have several deployment projects with some of them being web deployment projects. My MSIs have successfully installed on both Vista and Windows Server 2008. They will not install on Windows 7 or Server 2008 R2 unless I run it from a console window that I right clicked to "Run as administrator" Unless I do this, none of my installers will successfully install.

I cannot force my customers to have to open up a console window as I have to install the software. As a workaround for now, our customers are doing this but I will need to fix this in future releases.

I even tried creating a Launch Condition and setting the condition to AdminUser but that didn't work.

Thanks for any help.

This error is related to User Access Control (UAC) default settings. For detailed steps of the workaround read this post: http://rambletech.wordpress.com/2011/09/15/windows-server-2008-you-do-not-have-sufficient-privileges-to-complete-this-installation-for-all-users-of-the-machine/
