Hey Colin,
Take a look at these links. Unfortunately I don't believe there is a way to
"trigger" the UAC prompt using just the MSI base. Also, there is no way to
add a manifest to an MSI. This can be done for EXEs though. However, you get
into some tough support issues when relying on the EXE to request elevation.

Hope this helps,
