UAC prevents running program on Vista VMWare

I cannot run a Setup.exe on Windows Vista. I use the full path as suggested by another forum post.

Is it blocked by UAC? I don't even see the UAC screen, but when I disable UAC and reboot, the application almost starts...

After disabling UAC I get the following message:
Code:
Interactive services dialog detection
A program can't display a message on your desktop
The program may need informatin or permission to complete a task.
Why does this happen?
-> Show me the message
-> Remind me in a few minutes
Show program details
How can I run my Setup successfully so that I can see the installer window?

Are you running the setup.exe from a build? Visual Build itself would need to be started elevated (run as administrator) to do that.

I don't start Setup.exe from the build script on the same PC. In this case the link you provided would help me.

I start Setup.exe from the build script in a VM using a VMWare Workstation build step and the "Run program" command. There I provide username, password and the full path of Setup.exe on the guest system.

Before disabling UAC, nothing happened on the guest OS and the build step failed. After disabling UAC I get the weird message (see text above and attached screenshot).

I can switch to the message, but in this case the Vista desktop, the background picture and the taskbar disappears (see attached screenshot).

Try adding -activeWindow -interactive to the Additional options field on the Options tab.
