I developed a custom installer with WiX for a .NET WPF application. It works fine if I right-click and run as administrator, however when running without, some components fail to install due to insufficient privileges.
The components include SQL Server Express 2008 R2, FoxIt Reader, an ActiveX component and some others. It also requires that some SQL scripts are ran on the newly installed database - anyway, they all require administrator privileges.
I tried adding the InstallScope="perMachine" and InstallPrivileges="elevated" attributes to the Package node, but this didn't seem to make a difference.
I'm sure it's something silly, but I couldn't find anything in the reference or online.

Windows Installer XML Toolset (WiX, pronounced "wicks"), is a free software toolset that builds Windows Installer packages from XML. It consists of a command-line environment that developers may integrate into their build processes to build MSI and MSM packages.
I think if you just add
<Property Id="MSIUSEREALADMINDETECTION" Value="1" />
it should solve the problem. Let me know if not and I can do some more checking.
