I think I figured it out: In the policy editor open "Local Security Policy", navigate to "Security Settings", "Local Policies", "Security Options" and then deactivate the "User Account Control: Detect application installations and prompt for elevation" policy. This policy uses heuristics to detect install/update programs and pre- emptively requests elevation for them when you launch them. These heuristics seem to trigger on a whole bunch of words, including "setup", "install", "update" and "patch" anywhere in the filename, but there are supposed to be other heuristics as well that look at the version information. When you disable this policy then you probably will have to explicitly request privilege elevation whenever you run an old-style installer that doesn't have a manifest embedded.
