We have a Wix ToolSet Installer (Ver. 3.10). We try to elevate admin privileges upon a bundle installation, which expands over several projects.
We see examples like this which shows how to add an InstallPrivileges="elevated" attribute under a <Package> node.
We did that already for all projects in the solution.
We keep getting:
Filename: redirection.config Error: Cannot read configuration file due to insufficient permissions
Another way we think may be the solution, is using a pre/post event.
We tried to use a pre/post build events. Something similar to this (we used only the pre build event example) with no avail:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin\mt.exe" -manifest "$(ProjectDir)My.manifest" -outputresource:"$(ProjectDir)Setup.exe";
The solution was to edit a manifest file for the Wix Toolset bootstrapper.
See this for a direction.
