Yes! A Developers Guide to Windows Installer XML (I've got it, but haven't read it yet so can't comment on the quality of the book)

However I would first say, forget about WiX initially. Your concern is Windows Installer - WiX is simply a tool to define Windows Installer databases (MSI files). WiX is no different than many other products out there, except for the fact that it doesn't try to mask any Windows Installer concepts for you. InstallShield transparently does a bunch of things that Windows Installer doesn't support via custom actions and the like, WiX forces you to think more about the Windows Installer methodology and way of doing stuff. Windows Installer is what you want to understand, WiX comes afterwards.

Second, get a copy of The Definitive Guide to Windows Installer. This book is an invaluable resource for anyone looking to understand how Windows Installer (MSI) works.

Third, start with the first entry in the UAC in MSI blog posts and you should be able to get a better grip on things. Best documentation I ever read in trying to understand elevation, permissions and all the other stuff that goes with UAC.

Once you understand Windows Installer, WiX is extremely straightforward. It's just a new language to express the Windows Installer concepts - trying to learn them at the same time can get very confusing, but if you learn MSI first then WiX it's simple!
