[wix-users] How to detect Non-Admin User with UAC On and terminate Installation

When including the installation context with the installation launch 
conditions, use a Custom Action Type 19 in the InstallExecuteSequence 
table and make the custom action conditional upon the Privileged property. 
Do not use an action in the LaunchCondition table with a condition based 
on the AdminUser property or Privileged property.
