I think you need to look at the IsPriveleged property in MSI for your
check, and theres some way to make the installer require elevation in the
manifest file. I'm not sure how to do that though. You might search for
UAC manifest MSI or something like that.

[WiX-users] Manually trigger UAC
I'm having problems with my installer and Vista's UAC. I'm looking for
a short term solution that I can put in place while I try to figure out
a real solution. I'm wondering if anyone knows how to do one of two
things:
- Manually trigger the UAC in my installer. I think I have some
strange timing issues and would like to see if things would work better
if I trigger the UAC dialog before I start the actual installation begins.
- If I can't do that, can I create a condition that prevents my
installer from running if it's not running in an elevated mode? This
obviously isn't ideal, but it's better than a broken installer.
Thanks for any tips,
Colin
