Chapter 6: Creating Installations
Before You Begin
Example: UAC Prompt Is Displayed for Setup.exe and After a Reboot for a
Prerequisite that Requires Administrative Privileges
The following diagram shows when Windows Vista and later request elevated privileges for standard
users or administrative users who have limited privileges. The example is based on the default UAC
settings on Windows Vista and later systems. The diagram shows an installation that requires elevation
for Setup.exe, two setup prerequisites, a feature prerequisite, and the Execute sequence of the .msi
package. Because the Setup.exe file has a manifest that specifies Administrator as the required execution
level, elevated privileges are used for each part of the installation. The second UAC prompt is displayed
because elevated privileges are lost during a reboot.
