I seem to have got the solution. Basically all the properties(PUBLIC) that is required to install the feature such as <YourInstallDir> need to have the Secure Attribute set to 'Yes'.

Subject: [WiX-users] Change /Remove functionality not working from non-elevated prompt Hi, I am unable to use the change/remove option from a non-elevated command prompt to control the installation and uninstallation of features. This is on Win2k8 and a non-elevated command prompt. The change/remove option works when fine when done via the elevated command prompt in Win2k8. Just wondering if there is some Installer property that is needed? >From comparing the success and failure logs it appears that >"ProcessComponents" runs in the successful one and not in the failure one >(which explains the missing component). Anyone seen this kind of behavior? What am I missing? Wix Version: 3.0.4805.0 OS: Windows Server 08 Logged in as administrator, but launching the MSI from a non-elevated command-prompt.
