Hello,

i have a custom action in my installer, which installs a mmc snap-in about the tool installtutil.exe. it works under win xp and server 2003 (32 and 64-bit) but not under win vista or server 2008.

i have googled and readed that this behaviour is because of rights in which the custom action is started...

have anyone an solution for this problem ?

thx
yesso

Where have you scheduled this action? Is the snap-in installed by an MSI? Since you can't run two MSI execute sequences at once, and since you need to run custom actions as deferred in system context for them to inherit elevated rights (which can only be done in the execute sequence) you may have to install your snap-in as a pre-requesite.

sorry, in my first post i mean my msi works on win server 2003 64-bit but not on server 2008 64-bit...

i scheduled this action in "deferred execution in system context" synchron and check the exit code.

thx
