Elevated privilges while running from Programs and Features

[vikramvee]

Question

While running the WIx6 installer from the Programs and Features by Right clicking on the specific Installer and Choosing the Change option, I want to run the installer in Elevated privileges to check some preconditions related to IIS.

How can I achieve it as we are not able to access some of the IIS features which we need to check as part of prerequisites.

Open Source Maintenance Fee

• I (or an organization I'm a member of) pay the Open Source Maintenance Fee by sponsoring the wixtoolset project because I support the maintainers.

Often solved by launching an elevated executable to feed the information back. Microsoft really made a mess of IIS by requiring elevation to read the information. ☹️
