setup project in VS 2003

[John]

I created a setup project in VS 2003 to deploy a windows application.
I'm able to run that installer in any windows xp m/c, when I try to install
the setip in a vista m/c, it goes all the way and hangs at the end.

I tried to create a small setup project in vs 2005 and I was able to run the
setup in vista machine.
So I'm wondering if there are any patch / fix for VS 2003 to run in vista?

Thanks for your help.

Do you have any custom actions in your VS 2003 setup?

That will break it. Custom actions on Vista run with standard user token and
consequently break. The recommended solution is to set the
msidbCustomActionTypeNoImpersonate bit in the custom action type, but Visual
Studio has no IDE support for that.
