    Description

      Calling installer.gainAdminRights() in a script causes the error "You have selected an existing file or symlink, please choose a different target for installation" when selecting the target installation directory. Seems to occur no matter the directory.

      Example script:

      function Component()
      {
          installer.gainAdminRights();
      }
      

      Steps to reproduce the problem:

      • binarycreator -p packages -c config/config.xml sample_installer.exe
      • run the installer
      • attempt to install anywhere as per usual
