How to make msi package that it will not call UAC in windows 7? when install msi package
I have a msi package that will install a service and write instructions in HKLM and prompt user for UAC to accept or not. What I need it if I install it it will not ask for UAC to accept it or not. What changes I made to the software for this modification and how to do this?

Try to see if you can use AutoIt. This is kind of scripting which will wait till the prompt occurs & will choose the options that you need based on what you wrote in the script. - Vinodreddy597 7 years ago

Hi,
as soon as an installer attempts to write to areas that a "normal" user does not have the permissions you will automatically get a UAC prompt. What you are asking is not possible.

Thanks Phil. Is there any other possibility to install the sofware on standered user account without poping up for UAC.

Click-Once - BUT that will not fulfil your requirements, you have a service which ur adding, requires UAC. - rileyz 7 years ago

Yes, there is. You would have to sign the MSI, allow (via GPO) all users to installed signed MSI's.
This is a tall order, as you need:
1. A Verified Certificate to sign the MSI
2. The Code Signing Toolset
3. Set the GPO
2 & 3 are easy, 1 is hard... (and could be expensive). If you only need to deploy it in your own domain, then you can create your own root certificate (if you don't already have one). Create a code signing certificate from your root certificate and use that to sign the MSI.
