I find that the msi file extension tells Vista that the process requires elevation and you get the UAC prompt before the UI Sequene begins. Therefore, by the time you get to your 'Install' button with the potential to display your UAC Shield, the install doesn't require elevation (as it all ready has it) and the behaviour decides not to show the shield as it's not going to call UAC.
Basically, your installation should call UAC only once. If your bootstrapper icon has been deemed worthy of the shield by Vista, this will call UAC. From then on, nothing needs the shield and shouldn't have it. To stop this and only elevate when you actually click 'Install' (and so display the shield) you will need to stop the install from elevating itself before the UI begins - probably with an appropriate manifest file.
