MSI Installer Not Prompting for Admin on Windows 11

I created an MSI package using Advanced Installer with all the necessary permissions set, but when running the installer on Windows 11, it doesn't prompt for administrator rights (UAC) and fails to complete tasks that require elevation. Is there a specific setting or compatibility issue I might be missing for Windows 11?

Hello and welcome to our forums,

Could you please check and make sure that the level of UAC is set accordingly on your machine:
