Did a sourceforge bug get created from the below email? If so, can you
point me to it so I can monitor it's status? If not, can one be generated?

Or -- is there already a way to determine if the user allowed the elevated
permissions when calling Elevate directly?
In my case, I'm performing custom prerequisite checks that require elevated
security before I show the user what features are available to install and
want to just exit the installer if the user denies the elevated
permissions. I'm doing this in my own UI using the
ManagedBootstrapperApplication.

Thanks

BootstrapperApplication.Engine.Elevate()*

That looks like a bug. There needs to be callbacks on the elevate call
because all "action" (Detect, Plan, Elevate, Apply) calls are async.
Additionally, there should be callbacks when elevation happens durin Apply.

Note: You don't need to explicitly call Elevate() because it will happen if
necessary during Apply().
