Set InstallPrivileges="elevated" for your Package Element (may also want to set InstallScope="perMachine") & use the "Privileged" property in a LaunchCondition to ensure the user running it has Administrator privileges.
It should then automatically request elevation when starting the InstallExecuteSequence on UAC systems (shield icon should be shown on the Install button on VerifyReadyDlg). No bootstrapper necessary.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Run as Administrator Hi, You need to create a exe bootstrapper and embed for this bootstrapper a manifest which needs administrative privileges for this process. Tools for such purpose are e.g. the upcoming burn which should handle it (never tried it) or e.g. dotnetinstaller. Windows Installer itself (afaik) doesn't offer such constructs to elevate the installer.
