Applying Logging Options to an Installation
Windows Installer 4.0 or later only.
In pre-Vista versions of Windows, users frequently logged on as administrators, leaving
their computers vulnerable to security breaches. The User Account Control (UAC) that
was introduced with Windows Vista provides a temporary privilege-elevation model. A
user who needs to run an administrative application can elevate their permissions by
providing approval for that application.
Installation actions that write to a protected area on the destination computer require
elevation. When UAC is enabled and the installation tries to access a protected area, the
user is prompted as follows:
A user who is logged on with administrator credentials is prompted to confirm that
they want to continue.
A user who is logged on with standard user credentials is prompted to enter a
password for an administrator account for the installation to continue.
Installations that were created in a Wise product earlier than Wise Package Studio 7.0
SP1 or Wise Installation Studio 7.0 run as if UAC is enabled.
