I use LaunchAppAndWait to self-register a number of COM dll's in my setup. Installshield Developer was not able to correctly extract the COM information, so I had to use self-registration.
Now I am trying to make the installer obey the rules for an installation with elevated rights. I can make the installer add HKLM keys if I insert them using components, but I have not been able to insert registry values using a custom action that manually calls regsvr32.exe. I assume this means that this "lauch executable" action will cause the insertion of registry entries in HKLM to fail because the external EXE does not run with elevated rights?

For the record (my last post here seemed to disappear): when using the ISSelfRegister feature instead of LaunchAppAndWait to invoke regsvr32.exe manually, I still get the same result: registration fails. I assume this means that the ISSelfRegister feature calls regsvr32.exe "under the hood". This problem has taken on a more "general nature", and I posted a new thread here: http://forum.install...?showtopic=8992
