I believe the recommendation is to have a type 19 custom action in the
InstallExecuteSequence that is conditioned on the Privileged property, that
will exit the install if you're not privileged. You don't know whether you're
actually privileged until then, after the elevation prompt could have occurred.
If you have a launcher program then that may elevate either through installer
detection or an explicit manifest requiring administrator privilege, and if
that gets elevated then the launched MSI will also be elevated.

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
