UAC and MSI issues

I have created an MSI which has the MSDE 2000 install object in it alongwith other files and redistributables.
Everything works fine on XP
When I tried to install on Vista and above, it just would not install. After spending some time on the web I realized that if I fire it as as Administrator it should work.
So I created a batch file and called msiexec /i ABCD.msi.

But still no luck....

Any clues?

Thanks

Double checking the batch file would not get the elevated privilege. When you right click on a batch file you will see the option "Run as administrator".

I didn't try MSDE2000 install on Vista myself but I would suspect it might cause problem as it's not supported on Vista anymore. You may want to consider SQL Express instead. Take a look at:
