If you are using Vista with UAC enabled, you may have noticed that some existing MSI packages may not install as expected.
Here's a fix.
The reason is because Windows Installer by default doesn't elevate to higher privileges until it is about to actually start doing work in the install sequence.
The attached .REG file adds a "Run as administrator" option to the context menu for .MSI files. This forces an elevation prompt before the .MSI is run so the entire install session is run with elevated privileges.
this dose not seem to work with .msi's living on network drives once moved to a local drive life is fine
