Using VB6 PDW & Deploying with "WinZip Self Extractor", I need toinstall in a way that software Runs

[Guest viglen]

Hi,

 

I'm using VB6 PDW and Deploying the installation files with "WinZip

Self Extractor".

 

I noticed that the "WinZip Self Extractor" has a wonderful feature of

starting and running the "setup.exe" of the installation in Vista as a

Administrator, if you wish to choose this option.

 

I really need my software to install and run as an administrator in my

clients' Vista machines otherwise some features will not work.

 

The question is: If I make sure the Setup.exe is ran as Administrator,

so the software installation process runs as administrator, does that

mean that the software will be installed as an administrator ?

 

If not, please give me some ideas of how do I achieve the need for my

installations to install the software I develop to run as an

administrator (I know I can instruct my clients to right click on the

software's short cut and select properties and select "Always Run As

administrator", but what is the automated way of doing this in

installation, to make it easy and automated?)

 

Thank you.

Re: Using VB6 PDW & Deploying with "WinZip Self Extractor", I need to install in a way that software Runs as Administrator for Vista.

 

Ask in a developer's newsgroup, such as:

 

microsoft.public.platformsdk.security

microsoft.public.platformsdk.msi

microsoft.public.vb.general.discussion

 

There are probably others that are useful and relevant, so you should look

for yourself too.
