What is needed to pakcage for Windows 7?
Updated: 21 May 2010 | 3 comments
We have scores of Wise Scripts (.EXE's) and tons of MSI's and MSI's with MST's. We will have UAC turned on for Windows 7. Do you need a CERT to Certify each EXE to run on Vista/Win7? How do you depoy EXE's and MSI's to your UAC locked down machines? We do have SCCM but we also need to allow users to install software on their own.
Thank you.

There should be no problem deploying MSIs to Vista with SCCM, for EXE I guess you would have to add a manifest file. For Windows 7 I have no qlue.
For manual install the user would still have to accept the UAC prompt.
Do you know of a way for a user to have UAC turned ON but make it so they are not prompted when running an EXE manually ?
Thank you.
I believe that code signing your installation should prove to the UAC that this is a safe EXE. You may find more comprehensive answers to these questions in the Microsoft newsgroups.
