TL;DR: How can I make MSI to ask the user for elevated privileges? With the WixUI_Advanced I have the option to install the package per-machine or per-user... so this is a good step.
If I could make the MSI package to request for elevated privileges this would maybe be all (if the user grants: installs by default per-machine, if the user doesn't give access per-user). At the moment if it's a standard user the only option is per-user. I just need the MSI to ask for elevated privileges.
