Does it fail even if you run your setup elevated? If you’re able to run your MSI non-elevated, it’s probably using the compatibility features to write to a mirror program files directory under the user profile, not the real one. If you run your msi, does Windows ask if you want to elevate?

The commonly accepted solution is breaking up the code into fragments. The source code of WiX UI (wixui.wixlib) might be of your interest, as it is a good example (I think, what I write at least stands for WiX 2.x). In this case, for each level of UI - depending on how far it is reduced -
