[mapguide-internals] Installer: Yeah baby!

[Jason Birch]

I wonder if the custom actions need to have their "NoImpersonate" bit set so that they run using elevated permissions...  it looks like WiX allows you to do this by setting the Impersonate attribute of the CustomAction entity to "No".
 
But I also think that the CRT install problem may be due to a different issue:

Or maybe not; the docs say that's the default value for that attribute.  I wonder if there's a way of specifying on a particular action that it needs to be elevated?

Win7 still has UAC, it's just not as intrusive.  I wonder if adding InstallPrivileges="elevated" to the Package entity would help with the installation on Vista/w2k8/Win7.  I ran into problem of having to run msi from elevated command line too on w2k8.
