Feature Request: Launching app at end of installation w/ UAC

Postby wolbrink » Wed Jan 24, 2007 10:53 am

My installation gives the user the option to launch the application at the end of the install. This all works great. However, in Vista w/ UAC:
1. My setup.exe is prompted to elevate permissions as admin (expected).
2. When my setup.exe launches the app.exe, app.exe inherits the elevated permissions of setup.exe (not ideal).

I'd like if my app.exe could be launched by my setup.exe as a normal user under Vista w/ UAC.

This article hints at a solution (using a bootstrapper.exe):

Thanks for considering.
