While it's true that Windows Installer breaks the digital certificates by stripping out the storage before caching the package, one could do their own caching of their complete package ( Think c:\MsoCache ) and then bypass Windows Installer built-in ARP support with your own registration to wire up the uninstall action to your own package. That should give you a correctly displayed UAC prompt. However you can't bypass the prompt all together without turning off UAC.
