Elevated Priviledges for an MSI deployment Not Working

I have assigned an msi package with Active Directory and only a domain
administrator can install it. I have tested and tested and cannot understand
what is preventing this. I thought that elevated priviledges allowed the
package to be installed as non administrator but does it have to be done as a
silent install by the SYSTEM to work and not be assigned.

Does the deployment of the msi to the administrative share have to include a
switch to allow all users to be able to install the package once assigned?

Does the transform have to include something in a property row to allow this?

This package has to be installed as the user.

Thank you in advance,

Tina Cecil

Can you not just assign the package to the computer and have it install on
restart? That is how I deploy all my software. My users have no write access
to the C:\ and are just local users. Therefore they have no permissions to
install assigned software.

Thank you for the response but it is a third party utility for Outlook 2003
and it has to be the user that is signed on with their outlook account.

Thank you,
