   I don't know anything about the decision process but as I mentioned =
before I suspect it is app compat especially because it is for rarely =
executed setup programs only.  If there were an option to run without =
elevation then it is both more complicated because the user who likely =
has no knowledge of what is required now has three choices.  The two =
choices are simple, run or don't run.  Now even if they trust the =
application they must choose between two different forms of run.  Worse, =
running without elevation may appear to succeed but actually fail =
silently.

   Also, this is legacy only behavior.  Any new setup program should =
declare its behavior, again as I described before.

  Anyway, the above is all peripheral. I'm still curious about whether =
Vista
  really does allow only "don't run" and "run with full
privilege" on an =
exe
  that it determines is a setup program (presumably a downlevel setup
  program).
