We are running basic MSI setup (Installshield 2009) on windows 7. All the files are not copied onto target system due to some administrator priveleges.
How to give full administrator privileges ? Explicitly, we are giving perimissions through control panel. Is there any option to set them through setup ?
Required Execution Level - Use this setting in the Releases view to specify the minimum execution level required by your installation’s Setup.exe file. InstallShield uses the value that you select (Administrator, Highest available, or Invoker) in the application manifest that it embeds in the Setup.exe launcher.

This works only if your msi is wrapped in a setup.exe. Assuming it is, Administrators should just work fine. In this case admin user just authenticates the install at UAC promt. Non-admin has to provide admin credentials at the UAC prompt.
"Highest Available", means whatever level is currently available is chosen. If admin invoked the install, UAC promt occurs, else not.
There is some other problem as well. The following are included in Basic MSI setup. 1. A batch file runs in the middle of installation 2. An Application exe is called at the end of installation 3. Another Application exe is called during uninstallation
The setup worked fine on Windows xp. Both the exe's are called appropriately.
The above application exe's are not called when setup is run on windows 7. I have used LAuchAppAndWait to call the .exe
Is it required to do any other settings or permissions in windows 7 ?
