I have a program where I run some .msi files. This program downloads some files from our website and runs the .msi file. When I run the code as below, it runs smoothly on most computers and installs the setup, but on some computers it shows the windows installer information screen. When I open the project with VisualStudio on the same computer, it still works without any problems. I am using WiX Setup as setup builder. Could you please help if you have any idea about the cause of the problem?

**Summary**

Case 1: The program is run with visual studio and the code below works without any problems.

Case 2 : I am setting up the program with the WiX setup. In this case some will work on most computers. In the first case, it does not work on the working computer.

Case 3: If the setup is run manually by the user, not with the code below, it works without any problems.

```
 Process p = new Process();
 p.EnableRaisingEvents = true;
 p.Exited += ProcessExit;
 p.StartInfo.FileName = "msiexec";
 p.StartInfo.Arguments = string.Format("{0} {1}", "/i", _msiReadPath);
 p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = true;
 p.Start();

```

Not : Thinking that the problem might be with the WiX installer, I created a new setup with the Setup Project. The same problem persists. On computers with this problem, it gives a warning that it may be infected during installation with Setup Project. Could the root cause of the problem be the Windows installer?

Additional Corrections and Notes:

The experiences on the computers I've had problems with are as follows.

I'm installing my program with the setup that creates it with WiX. Then I run the installation process (`Process`) in the program. It works but the installer /option screen is displayed.

I am running the .exe in the Debug folder compiled with Visual Studio on the same computer. The process runs smoothly and the installation of the .msi file begins. I re-added the WiX setup codes below.

Note 2: If I replace the .exe in the Debug folder with the exe where the program is installed, it works properly. My guess is WiX Setup is having a problem retrieving the .exe.
