I am trying to construct a silent install using Inno Setup. I am using the /SILENT and /VERYSILENT command parameters, and everything works fine, except for the UAC window popping up at the start.
How do I get around this issue?
I have found a few posts loosely mentioning about using SignTool, but other sources have said that this will simply change the UAC box blue with the publisher parameter filled.
Can anyone help here? The scenario is an installer which will be distributed over the internet to update existing software on a machine silently without any user interaction.
To run a setup elevated without the UAC prompt, you need to run it from something that is already elevated. It would defeat the entire point of UAC if programs could elevate without the user controlling access.
Signing the executable does just show the publisher.
