Hi
We have a app.msi file. There is no Setup.exe associated with msi.

The msi file is launched from custom executable with msiexec /i command.
The custom executable has manifest file embedded into it. When launched from vista machine which has the UAC enabled, our custom executable gets the consent from the user and launches the msi in elevated mode and this is working perfectly till now.

NOW WHEN THE USER TRIES TO LAUNCH MAINTENANCE MODE FROM ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS, the first CA which is scheduled just after cost finalize in UI sequence is failing with error code 1721 with return value of 3.

This is pretty much straight forward as msi when launched from ARP will not run with elevated privileges and the CA is failing.

Is there a way when the installer is launched from Add/Remove programs, it should get the consent and launch the msi with elevated privileges ?

It has to be a msi file and our custom executable must launch it.

Please provide me the possible solutions.
