Hi Bob,
Thank your for pointing this out and helping me to clarify things.

Vista always starts packages without elevation. Unless you use
Package/@InstallPrivileges=limited or Package/@InstallScope=perUser
MSI will prompt for elevation when the user clicks the final Install
button that kicks off the installation. That's regardless of the
ALLUSERS value.

[WiX-users] Installation on Vista
Hi,
I want my wix based installer to run on windows 2000, XP, and Vista. It
should offer a per-user and per-machine installation. Now I read in a
previous task an answer from Bob Arnson that it's not possible under
Windows Vista to request elevation at run time. But my first tests on a
vista machine yield an opposite result (or at least I am interpreting it
this way). The installer is started without elevation and defaults to an
per-user installation. Later the user/admin can change the preselection
in the GUI to an per-machine installation. And if he presses the install
button Vista UAC prompts for elevation.
All I do is set the ALLUSERS Property for a per-user installation to
{} and for a per-machine installation to 1. When running without GUI
it defaults to 2.
Can someone provide me additional facts for this issue?
Thanks in advance, Cheers Volker

Re: [WiX-users] Installation on Vista
Ok, I just read further and it seems that the behaviour is related to
the setting of the ALLUSERS property. I is explained in detail in
