I use wix 3.6 and this works for me. You should see the "shield" icon on the
install button. Click on the install button brings up the UAC prompt.
<Product Id="GUID" Name="$(var.ProductName)" Language="1033"
Version="$(var.ProductVersion)" Manufacturer="blah" UpgradeCode="GUID">
<Package InstallerVersion="200" Compressed="yes" />
<Property Id="ALLUSERS">1</Property>
<Condition Message="You need to be an administrator to install this product.">
Privileged

I had InstallCope=perMachine - but no UAC dialogue is shown.
Do you have a working example? I suspect that there is something that I'm
missing elsewhere.
Tomorrow I'll have a better look at the logs but a working example would be
cool...
Actually so far with WiX I've never been able to show the UAC dialogue.
