How check UAC (admin rights) in WIX v4 Installer? - uac

I did't work with WIX Installer. Now I work with latest WIX v4.
I want to check with which rights was started installer and after this setect dinamycally installation path
idea example:
if is_admin()
StandardDirectory Id="ProgramFiles6432Folder"
else
StandardDirectory Id="LocalAppDataFolder"
I see these steps:
User see UAC prompt
User Click Yes or No
Here I try to understand execution level
How can I do this?
So I tried to find information how to do it and found that I can use Privileged property but I not found any example of code on WIX v4... Or maybe on WIX v3

DNN settings screen empty

I am really new with dotnetnuke, but I have a questions.
I installed the module https://github.com/intelequia/dnn.azureadb2cprovider
Also I have locally a DNN installation running and I try to install the azureb2cprovider.
After a successfull installation, I want to navigate (through the personabar?) to the new Azure AD B2C settings screen.
But When I click on it, the screen keeps blank.
Any idea what this could be? I tried different versions (all above 9.4) of DNN, but everywhere I have the same issue. I also tried many different version of the module. I think its something simple. But what?
All the other menu items are working fine

WPF application is still running in background even after uninstall

I have a WPF app and an installer created using Setup Project in Visual Studio. The APP is having a tray icon and works based on that.
When I tried to uninstall the application folder gets uninstalled but the instance of the app is still running.
Is there a way I can close my app when it's uninstalled?.. Please help
When the program is uninstalled,you can use System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName static method to check if the process exists.if exist,close it.
such as
var notepad = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName("notepad");
if (notepad.Length > 0)
notepad[0].Kill();

Remove welcome video on dotnetnuke new install

I have just installed DNN and the website loads successfully. It allows me to login with the host user but a second or 2 later it overlays a "Welcome to Evoq" youtube video which I can't close. I have to close it in order to get to the admin screens to apply my customisation. There is no close option and no scroll bar
I have installed DNN9 on Windows 10, SQLServer Azure db, IIS 10
Note that I am new to DNN and this is my first install. Any guidance will be most appreciated
I would start over again and specifically start with DNN 9.08.01. There are some good videos out there on installing DNN and watching one or two might reveal the detail or step you need to get things working. Its usually pretty easy and just works. If you are just installing a local copy to play with, I highly recommend you give nvQuickSite v2.x a try.

Problem accessing admin zone drupal 7

I recently install a drupal for the first time.
Up to now all was pretty good.
But now i can't go on the admin zone.
When I want to go on any section I have a link to Dashboard display on each page.
Moreover when i want to logout I've an Internal Server Error
Have you an idea to resolve this problem ?
Thanks
I'm not completely sure what problem you have, if you are logged out and do not have a login block, you can go to /?q=user or /user and then go to /?q=admin or /admin. If this is not the problem, in general with these kind of issue you can try the following:
Disable any themes you might have activated ([drupalroot]/sites/all/themes/). Just rename the directory of the theme (mv yourtheme/ yourdisabledtheme/) and see if that solves things.
Disable the .htaccess file in the root of your Drupal install (it's hidden, so you need to do an ls -la to see it) by renaming it (mv .htaccess .htaccessdisabled) and see if this enables you to get into admin.
of course, rename them back afterwards. Good luck!

How to make .exe file programmatically set to run as admin always in vista?

I have written a winform application in C#. When I run the program for some functionality it required admin permission. After Installation If I set the .exe file to run as admin manually (by clicking right mouse button on .exe file) then my program run perfectly.
Now I need user not to set the run as admin property after installation by clicking right mouse button. I need to set this programaticaly somewhere in the code that user no need to bother about this. This specific problem is only arise for Windows Vista. Can anyone help me out?
You need to add a manifest to the app that specifies it require admin privileges. Read more on MSDN.
Update: You can add a manifest to your project by right-clicking on the project and selecting Add / New Item / Application Manifest File. This will add a new file called app.manifest to your project and will reference it from the project properties, in the Manifest dropdown on the Application tab. The default manifest template even has a nice comments on how exactly to change the required UAC execution level.
You need to specify the requestedExecutionLevel in the manifest.
