how to install an application from network drive on vista OS

I am working on an installer which installs some files and do some
operations which needs admin privileges(for ex: installer creates 2
user accounts).

On Vista OS, when i install this installer from local hard disk or DVD
drive, once UAC dlg for admin privileges is accepted, every thing
works fine. But when i try to install from a network drive, some
operations which needs admin privileges will fail. Basically, its not
allowing to do any operations which need admin privileges from a
network drive. Even though UAC dlg for admin privileges is accepted.

Is there any way to tell OS to trust this network drive and allow
installation and allow operations which requires admin privileges.

thanks

Right click the file and choose Run As Administrator.

If no joy,
Add "Take Ownership" to right-click menu in Vista

Hi Bob,

thanks for the suggestions. I tried by running as administrator.
But no luck. I cannot use 'Take Ownership' option because i cannot
tell my customer to follow these steps before installing.

Acutally am looking for a similar procedure used for in .net
framework i.e. to run a dotnet application from a network drive, we
use dotnet tool to trust that network drive and then start running the
application. Is there a similar way on Vista OS to run some microsoft
tool to trust the network drive and then start the installation from
that drive.

thanks...
