On UAC systems a check like the one you have will not always work properly because Privileged doesn't get set until an MSI elevation prompt which is after the launch conditions. That check works when you run from an elevated prompt because that forces elevation of the entire MSI including the launch condition, but it won't work from an uninstall unless the uninstall is also elevated. To guarantee that you are actually elevated you need a check for Privileged early in the Execute sequence, with a type 19 custom action to stop the install operation. I've forgotten what that type 19 is in WiX. That seems to be the issue as far as I can tell. This may help: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rflaming/archive/2006/09/21/765665.aspx together with the MSIUSEREALADMINDETECTION property.
