I ran into a problem whilst attempting to install some SharePoint code on a Windows Server 2008 machine. Changes to the way Vista and Server 2008 deal with the security associated with MSI installs meant that we were failing with a repeated security problem.
Turned out that a change to the local policy for elevation was required to allow the installer to run in the context of the current user...
Using the group policy snap-in for MMC, we had to navigate to Local Computer Policy / User Configuration / Administrative Templates / Windows Components / Windows Installer, then set the value of the Always install with Elevated privileges to Disabled.
