Setup project Custom Action fails under Vista

Hi!

I have a deployment project made with Visual Studio 2003. The setup
fails when I run it in Vista. I have figured out that it only fails
when I have an Install Custom Action.
I have read in newsgroups that i should set the noImpersonate bit in
the MSI file and that I need Orca for that. So I did.
I have found the custom action and added 3584 to the Type field of
1025, like I read in http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368069.aspx
I have also tried 3072 and 3328, but i now get msi error 2869. I have
opened a CMD box with administrator rights, and tried install again,
but i get the same msi error 2869.
I have no idea what to try now. Does anybody know how to solve this?

Kind regards,
Gerben H.

I would try looking at what your custom action is attempting to do relative
to Vista's security systems before diving into editing properties in the MSI
database. Does your installation work as expected under XP?

It's working ok under XP, but just adding a custom action, where I
override the Installer class, but don't implement any of my own code,
already gives an error in Vista. Any idea?

Hi, I am trying to create an installer for my web application. So I added a web setup project to my solution (I am using VS.NET 2003). Been playing around with it since then and it basically works. Now, I am wondering if there is any way to change the directory that the installer installs the files to. I want to be able to put my files in a specified directory (user specified is good, but i don't mind hardcoding the path either) and...

I have created a web setup project for my ASP.NET application that works fine.

I created a CustomAction for this but I don't think I have it in the right place. I tried both Install and Commit but neither allow it to get to the final screen. Are there any examples of this anywhere? Thanks, Joe

I created a setup project in VS 2003 to deploy a windows application. I'm able to run that installer in any windows xp m/c, when I try to install the setip in a vista m/c, it goes all the way and hangs at the end. I tried to create a small setup project in vs 2005 and I was able to run the setup in vista machine. So I'm wondering if there are any patch / fix for VS 2003 to run in vista? Thanks for your help.

I want to deploy a service with a windows app and the setup program must conform to the Vista certification requirements. Can that be done with the standard .net setup project? Assuming cost is an issue, what else is available?
