we can detect it - Disable silent and verysilent uninstall in Inno Setup uninstall-in-inno-setup and try to rerun with

ExecAsOriginalUser(ExpandConstant('{srcexe}'), '', '', SW_SHOWNORMAL, ewNoWait, 0);

But it does not run anything in this case. Any ideas how to rerun installer in normal mode when silent install detected?

That was my blind, untested proposal which doesn't work (Deanna has a note about it as well). `Exec` as well as `ExecAsOriginalUser` returns `ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED` error code, when you attempt to run the setup binary from code, and I would suggest to make a temporary batch file and run the setup from there. Although, I'm not sure if you can run an executable from a batch file with the same privileges as the batch invoker. – TLama Mar 20 '13 at 14:06
I've just corrected my original answer to use `ShellExecAsOriginalUser()` that should elevate properly (still untested). I recomend deleting this question if it now works or I'll close as a duplicate. – Deanna May 13 '13 at 11:39
