A:
Does it run on Vista? For installation it is common to be run by administrator - the application itself should be able to run without admin privileges and this requires dedicated work.

A:
You need to generate a verbose log file (see the command line options topic in the MSI SDK) and see what the actual install error is.

The issue you described above means there is a bug somewhere in your installation. The Windows Installer will elevate correctly for you. However, if you have a bug in your setup (usually a buggy Custom Action) then things can still fail. A verbose log file will point to the root issue.
