Hey Colin,
I am not sure that is a UAC issue from what you have shown me. Do you get a
UAC prompt? The error message is showing a directory with a property that
has spaces (which are not allowed). That might be one of the issues.
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
<Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder" Name="PFiles">
<Directory Id="MyApplication" Name="My Application"/>
</Directory>
</Directory>
Thanks,
Brian Rogers
