I just began to test .msi installations on Vista and I know very little. I
can double-click a .msi installation written using InstallShield 10.5 and it
installs ok. But when I double-click it again or run it using msiexec in
order to go into Maintenance Mode I get a security error saying it isn't
allowed as I don't have the correct privileges. Yet, I have Administrator
privileges which allowed me to install it in the first place. I can only get
into Maintenance Mode if I go through the Control Panel. Why can't I get
into Maintenance Mode via msiexec or double-clicking the .msi like I can on
previous operating systems? Is there a security policy I can change?
Also, will I be able to perform minor updates of the product I installed as
I have before when I run the msiexec command with the REINSTALL and
REINSTALLMODE parameters?
