There are several posts regarding the creation of registry keys. However, i am trying to create the registry entries during radiobutton clicks.
I get the error message "Requested registry access is not allowed" when i try to access registry.
I tried with
project.InstallPrivileges = InstallPrivileges.elevated;
project.InstallScope = InstallScope.perMachine;
To have the admin privileges and also added the application manifest file and configured,
<requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator" uiAccess="false" />
I noticed the application(Project) exe has the admin access now and wix installer doesn't have it.
Also, If i create the registries during build there is no issues. However, when user clicks on radio button on the UI, it doesnt seem to have admin rights
var project = new Project("iaAgent",
new Dir(@"%ProgramFiles%\Test",
new DirFiles(@"C:\Test\Test\Test\bin\Debug\netcoreapp3.1\win-x64\*.*")));
project.InstallPrivileges = InstallPrivileges.elevated;
project.InstallScope = InstallScope.perMachine;
InjectProductActivationDialog(project);
Compiler.PreserveTempFiles = true;
//Reg Entries
Compiler.BuildMsi(project);
Please help me to gain the admin access(UAC) screen whenever user executes the setup. Or is there any custom action to create the registry keys
