[wix-users] UAC Admin permisions

MSI does not support elevation when it starts... It requests elevation when
the install button is clicked...

You have two options
1. Use a bootstrapper to elevate privileges
2. You can create a self elevating custom job... Which elevates the MSI
when it starts....
