Need to be Admin to install msi

Hi,

I have created a transform and have advertised it on my XP box, when I run the icon it says this install requires administrator privileges on Windows NT . Setup will abort.

Any ideas how I can give the user admin privileges while installing the app then taking them away?

thanks
Gav

You should advertise it to all users from an NT account that has admin privs

- Log in as admin
- run MSIExec /jm .......msi /t ......mst


looeee
Please also see the MSI Help Library page "How do I install a package with elevated privileges as a non-admin?"
