There is nothing you can do. You MUST run the installer as administrator.

As for the application, you will also need to run it as administrator with elevated priviledges but thre are options to make it ask automatically for elevation via application manifest. You can do a search on stackoverflow.com because there are more post related to this issue.

Here is a link to a post that might help.

Here are a couple more usefull link on app manifest and UAC:

• App Manifest (1)
• App Manifest (2)

UAC technology.

They are in C# but then again translating to VB.net is like a walk in the park.

You can make a windows service. And put all operations that require elevated rights into that service. You install the service as SYSTEM account and you communicate with the client via .net remoting or any other way for vb6.

if your app exe is an active x exe then you will need to register all the ocx file using regsvr command and then register your exe with regsvr32 command, for an active class to be used in win vista it first must be registered. make a batch to do these registration.
