Method #2 - apply from an elevated command prompt. I'm a little unclear about the requirement. If the MSI requires elevation, any applied MSP will prompt for elevation as needed and all non-impersonated in-script actions will run elevated (same as the MSI, adding an MSP doesn't change how that works). If the original MSI doesn't require elevation and the MSP introduces that requirement (due to some new thing its doing) then LUA patching won't accommodate that requirement. You really should use a major upgrade (and possibly a bootstrapper that gives you a working upgrade path) to replace that original MSI.
