Without MSIUSEREALADMINDETECTION set the user can run the MSI, but
they can't install the application. Once they press the 'Install'
button (with the UAC Shield) they'll be prompted to enter a username
and password to continue. With MSIUSEREALADMINDETECTION set to 1 then
the message will display.
As you shouldn't be modifying the system outside of the
InstallExecuteSequence anyway I can't see how this would be a problem?
Here's the code I'm using below, as the condition all looks OK I've
included the Package element - I don't know if the settings there
would have any effect on the behaviour?
<Package Description="!(loc.Package_Description) $(var.version)"
Comments="!(loc.Package_Comments)"
Manufacturer="!(loc.ManufacturerName)"
InstallerVersion="301"
Compressed="yes"
InstallPrivileges="elevated"
InstallScope="perMachine"
Platform="$(var.ProcessorArchitecture)" />
<Condition Message="!(loc.LaunchCondition_AdminPrivs)">
<![CDATA[Installed OR Privileged]]>
</Condition>
