HI,

I am using InstallShield 2008 Professional-AdminStudio Edition [Basic MSI Project].
When i try to install my project on Windows Vista Operating system, before copying files it will popup one dialog saying that "An unidentified program wants access to your computer", By clicking on Allow button, installation is going to proceed else it is aborting the installation.

Please suggest how to aviod this .

Thanks,

This is User Account Control (UAC).

If you are sure that the setup doesn't require admin rights (doesn't copy files to Program Files folder etc.) you can change the required execution level.

If your setup requires admin rights then you cannot avoid the UAC dialog. But you can change the color of the banner from yellow to grey and you can change the text to include your product name. To do this your msi file needs to be digitally signed.

Thanks for your prompt response.

Could you please explain about the digital sign?
How to digital sign the application?
what is the actual procedure?

One option is VeriSign (Not the cheapest one though):
