Using the start group is probably failing on Vista because your problem is
requesting to be run elevated. I think you will have the same problem even if
you use the Run key.

Use the Run registry key.

Subject: [WiX-users] Making a program start on Windows startup?
I want my installer to make the program start on windows startup. At
the moment I'm just adding a shortcut to the program to the Startup
folder in the Start menu, which works fine on Windows XP but fails on
Vista.
Is there a "proper" way to do this? Or a work-around so that the
program will start on Vista startup?
The code in the wxs file is this:
<Directory Id="StartupFolder" Name="Startup">
<Component Id="StartupMenuItem" Guid="MYGUID">
<util:InternetShortcut Id="TrayIconStartupShortcut"
Name="AppName" Target="[INSTALLDIR]app.exe" Directory="StartupFolder"/>
<RemoveFolder Id="RemoveStartupItems" On="uninstall"/>
<RegistryKey Root="HKCU" Key="SOFTWARE\A\B
\StartupMenuitem">
<RegistryValue Type="string" Value="Default Value"/>
</RegistryKey>
</Component>
</Directory>
