While thinking of a response, I came up with an idea that could make the
message unnecessary. What if mbahost did the elevation? The problem with
that is by the time it knows that it should try to elevate, it's too late -
the CLR is loaded. But what if it could relaunch the bundle and ask the
engine to do the elevation before creating the BA? As long as the user
didn't move the splash screen, they wouldn't even notice that it had
launched twice. The elevation prompt would be at a different time than
normal, but at least the BA is still running unelevated and the install can
go on.
