Actually, this is redundant if you are using GP to assign or publish apps because part of what you get with GP-based deployment is automatic elevation on install, by default. Typically where I've seen this problem come up is when the MSI is hard-coded with the ALLUSERS property hard-coded to 1. Check out this article: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/msi/setup/a llusers.asp
Assuming that is the problem, the way to get around it is, if you have access to the MSI source package, change that property to 2. If not, you can use ORCA (GUI MSI editor in the Installer SDK) or create a transform using your favorite packaging product to modify that property.
