Administrative Area Custom Action help..
Hello all,
We just purchased Installshield 2010 , hoping it would have some built-in stuff to fix our problems with Win7. No dice...
I'm trying to run a custom action of type: 1089 running against Windows 7 OS. I have the RequireAdministrativePrivileges = Yes.
Basically what this installscript custom action does is, build a string and then execute.
The final string we execute is...
cmd /c "C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\RegAsm.exe" "C:\Program Files\Code Red\Red Alerts\OurDll.dll"
And that's it. However, the following list will show when it works. And when it wont' work. Notice the inconsistancies on right clicking on cmd.exe and right clicking on my setup.exe. Does anyone know how to get this to work without right clicking and without running from administrative command line?
1. MSI File. Running Custom Action as Deferred System Context = FAILED.
2. MSI File. Running Custom Action as Deferred System Context, run from Cmd.exe right click (Run as administrator) = FAILED.
3. MSI File. Running Custom Action as Deferred Context = FAILED.
4. MSI File. Running Custom Action as Deferred Context, run from Cmd.exe as administrator = SUCCEEDED.
5. EXE File. Running Custom Action as Deferred System Context, Right Click Run As Admistrator = FAILED.
6. EXE File. Running Custom Action as Deferred Context, Right Click Run As Admistrator = SUCCEEDED.

I read the article about running custom actions in the 'deferred system context' when dealing with Win7 and Vista. So i tried that out. No luck.
More Details:
1. I am an administrator on the machine.
2. We use AppSearch to build our strings and find the RegAsm.exe file in the .net framework folder.
2. Custom Action Table: RegisterOffice, 1089, ISSetup.dll, f2
3. Custom Action Code:
