| Uninstall on Vista requires administrative privileges to "Unindentified program" from "Unindentified publisher". Tested 2.6.5 and 2.7a4 | ||

| This is a known issue which is fixed in Windows Installer 5.0. See http://blogs.msdn.com/heaths/archive/2009/02/02/changes-to-package-caching-in-windows-installer-5-0.aspx One sentence summary snippet: "But during uninstall, packages would display “Unidentified Publisher” even if they were signed because their embedded cabinets were stripped" Martin may want to have a look at the blog post to see if we need to make a change (last paragraph in the blog post). | ||

| IIUC, fixing this would require to split the installer into two files: the msi and the cab. This would not be acceptable, so I'm closing this as "won't fix". |
