I have an MSI that needs to run with administrator permissions. This installer will do some admin stuff, and eventually put a shortcut on the user's desktop. When I set the installer to "Run as Administrator", the MSI actually runs under the profile of the admin account. The shortcut gets placed under the admin's Desktop and not under the user's Desktop.
Is it possible to run the installer with elevated permissions (not Run as Administrator) which will prompt for admin credentials, but still run the installer under the non-admin user's profile so the shortcuts, new folders, new files, etc. get placed in the non-admin user's location?
