[izpack-devel] Vista

[Stefan Wachter]

Hi all,

I found some information about the application manifest that is needed to take care for having 
enough privileges: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa480150.aspx#accprotvista_topic8

PS: I found the uninstaller jar does not work because it has not enough privileges. In a plain VISTA 
installation IzPack writes files that can not be removed by the user who did the installation. In 
order to make the uninstaller jar work I had to start the uninstaller also via an exe launcher. I 
named the executable uninstall.exe. Now the uninstaller removes the files.
