Allow MSI installer to run only by Administrator

[saadsaeed01]

Hello

Is there a property in WiX toolset which forces the MSI installer to run only by Administrator?

I want to restrict normal accounts from running the MSI installer.

Hello @chrpai

I have tried using this property but it doesn't not give any errors or warning. I am trying to run the installer from the normal account

Am I using this property correctly?

MSI already defines the property. You need to use the property in a condition. Such as Privileged or Installed.

Hi @chrpai

Thanks for the answer!

I solved this issue through custom action and it is working fine
