Create a custom action that launches cmd.exe. On the command line pass the path to your .bat file (I think it's the /c parameter of cmd.exe)

Stefan,

I can't make my script work under Vista when UAC is on unless release's property "Required Execution Level" is elevated to "Administrator".

I need to run a .BAT that executes caspol.exe which adds a strong name to the security.config. It works perfectly on XP.
On Vista, it looks like .BAT must be executed in "Run as Administrator" mode to make caspol.exe work.
Although, administrator's credentials are provided (this is a per machine installation) during the installation, it seems cmd.exe/.BAT is executed with the privileges of a user who starts the installation.

Is there any other way to make it work without elevating of execution level of the entire release?

Thank you,
Vlad

Did you try making the custom action "deferred in system context"?

Sorry, that reply is for MSI prohjects, it's not applicable to InstallScript projects.
InstallScript projects must be executed with administrator rights.

Your advice worked for me (Its an MSI project)

Thank you very much for you time.
