Privileged isn't completely useless. It's correctly resolved in the execute sequence. There's a UAC recommendation somewhere to use a type 19 custom action in the execute sequence conditioned on Privileged to abort the install if it requires privilege. I don't know if it behaves that way if UAC is turned off, and it's not clear to me where that log snippet is from, UI or execute.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Confusionm around Privileged property Isn't WI v4 where the UAC was introduced and the Privileged property became useless? If so, then you should be able to use both properties to get what you want downlevel and uplevel.
