One issue (probably not the one of the OP) is still unresolved (AFAIK -
I don't use Vista regularly); an issue that you brought up some time
ago: Installer unreasonably invokes UAC when running the MSI file, even
if this is a "just-for-me" installation. I actually don't know why it
does that - there is nothing in the MSI file specifically requesting
UAC. Instead, Installer makes its own determination of whether UAC is
needed, and I don't know what criteria it uses for that determination.

So any help would be appreciated.

Regards,
Martin
