Custom Actions with admin rights

[ankur_bhargava]

I am creating a MSI project with Installshield 2010. I want to XCopyFiles some files in system32 folder in 64bit machines.

So I created a custom action which first disables file system redirection and then tries to copy files in system32 folder.

This works fine when I run setup.exe with admin rights (right click and run as Administrator) but when I simply double click setup.exe it fails with the permission related message.

Please advise on how I can launch custom actions with admin rights even when I double click setup.exe.

Thanks in advance

In the Release you can set the Require Administrative Privilage to "Yes". So while installation it will be elevated.
